Combine 8 ounces of water with ½ teaspoon salt. Dip the cut apples in the salt water for 1 to 3 minutes. Remove the apples and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Even the tastiest apple looks pretty unappetising if it starts turning brown. But now experts may have discovered a way to prevent this from happening - and the results last for days.

How long it lasts: Salt water can delay browning for about 12 hours. The cut apples won't taste like salt, but you can quickly rinse them off if you're concerned about a salty flavor.
