I'm told that if one wishes to keep cut apples from browning, covering them in lemon juice will protect them. 

Apparently, if you don't have lemon juice, lemonade will do just fine.

Yep - it's the acidity!
Same reason acidified rice at oriental places in theory doesn't need to be refrigerated if pH is <4.1. /nerdiness

I knew about lemon juice, but never thought of lemonade. The things one learns. *is now more knowledgable*

And, regarding NaNo... GO!GO!GO! *wildly waves pompoms*

This is the funniest and lovliest post ever :-) not only because of your icon.

Well, you can use White balsamic vinegar as well. It don´t taste that good anymore but the apple isn´t brown.

Or dissolve a vitamin C tablet in water. (I think that's basically what the commercial dip is.) Or course, the real question is why wouldn't you have any lemons on hand, asks the lemon fanatic.
