Allows you to slice up the apple for younger kids and will stop the apple turning brown.


Ingredients (serves 1)

  • 1 Apple
  • 1 Tbsp Lemon juice - bottled is okay
  • 1 cup Water

Method

  1. Add the water and lemon juice together in a small jug.
  2. Cut apple into desired sized slices.
  3. Soak the apple into the water/juice mixture for 5 minutes. Remove and pack into bags or containers.

Notes

The lemon juice will stop the apple going brown.

  • This is a great idea. The lemon would give a nice subtle flavour too.
