The Rubber Band Hack That Will Keep Your Apples From Becoming Brown
By Crystal Antonace
If you want to maintain the portability of whole apples but wish you had a better way of eating this fruit, a simple rubber band may be the answer to all your problems.
Youtuber Grant Thompson posted a video featuring a step-by-step guide on how to apply a brilliant rubber band hack to keep your sliced apples from browning.
In the video, Thompson places a whole apple stem side down on a cutting board. He then makes four strategic cuts down the fruit and around the core in a tic-tac-toe style pattern.
For further freshness, mist your slices with lemon juice or soak them in a saltwater solution before assembling. Store your banded fruit in the refrigerator in a plastic bag.
