Back to School Lunch Ideas – How to Prevent Apple Slices from Browning

My son loves apples, but has braces, so biting into a whole apple is a disaster waiting to happen–both for him and for me and my finances.  I know you can buy pre-sliced and treated apples, but they are seriously a ton of money compared to a plain old apple.

That’s why when I learned this cool little rubber band trick {it totally works}, I knew I had to share.  Just slice the apple with a sharp knife, holding it together as you do, wrap a rubber band securely around the outside of the apple and throw it in your lunchbox.  It won’t brown, because the slices aren’t exposed to air.

So simple, so perfectly simple.
