Player #96919, pineapple juice works also. Good substitute for people allergic to citrus fruit.

I googled this 10 years ago as I was frustrated with the slices oxidizing. All of the suggestions work great. btw: 7up, etc also works.

The true answer should be chocolate spread. Because, if I put it on an apple, I will eat it long before it turns brown. Lol!

Also, if you love peanut butter on your apples, try dipping them with the skin side, Not the cut side. It sticks much better!!

Try dusting cinnamon on the cut side. It works very well, preserves the apple for a long time and tastes delicious. Kids aren't too keen on the lemon taste. You can rinse the cinnamon off or make a very thin slice to remove the cinnamon for sensitive pallettes! Cinnamon preserved apples are automatically ready for morning oatmeal. 🙂

Doesn't always work if you're preparing lots of apples. You need to use more Lemon juice.

I think all would have worked as they act as a shield against air( oxygen). Still, lemon would be the best option. Sometimes, We delve so much into science that we ignore common sense.

Pineapple is more about carbonic acid than citric acid....
