As a busy parent, you've likely handed your child a fresh apple sliced for snack time, only to watch it turn brown in their lunchbox due to oxidation. Here's a proven, effortless trick I've used for years to keep those pieces crisp, white, and appealing.

To stop a cut apple from browning, simply surround the slices with a rubber band. This clever barrier limits air exposure, slowing oxidation effectively.
That's all it takes! Bonus: Use extra rubber bands to secure cupboard doors for childproofing.
