My son likes to take apple slices to school for his snack but he doesn’t like opening his snack bag to find brown slices. I find that if I toss the apples in lemon juice before packing the apples will keep fresh. This works with most fruit - it keeps avocado, pears, bananas and other fruits from turning brown after they’re peeled and chopped.

The lemon won’t spoil the flavor. A little bit does the trick and you if you taste it at all it’s very faint.
