It would, but it might linger on the fruit, changing the taste.
 
Huh! Never thought of that! I will try Sprite next time! Thanks :D
 
I use orange juice alot because I always have some on hand.
 
Anything citrus will work. I use Mtn Dew cause it's what we have on hand. I have also used pineapple juice leftover from sliced or diced pineapple. Guests LOVE this tip!!!
 
Milk works, too.

You can make acidulated water. Add a couple of tablespoons lemon or lime juice to 2 cups water. There'll be enough acid to cut the browning without having so much that the apples end up super tart.

Or you can spritz them with lemon juice using the Kitchen Spritzer.

Acidulated (ah-SID-you-lay-ted) is a perfectly cromulent word!

(Acidulated is commonly used in cooking manuals, etc. to indicate that an acid has been added.)

Cromulent is a made up word from The Simpsons, and was used in the same context, to mean "valid." (I'm a Simpson's fiend. My DH and I will occasionally have entire conversations that are nothing but quotes from the show.)

I always used what I called lemon water, but from here on out I will make sure to let everyone know that I am fully versed in making "Acidulated Water"

If you use lemon-lime soda, be sure it's regular, not diet. I don't know why, but diet doesn't seem to work well.

1. What types of dips do you recommend for apples?

Some popular dips for apples include caramel, peanut butter, chocolate, and cream cheese. However, you can also get creative and try things like fruit dip, honey, or even savory dips like hummus or ranch.

2. Are there any healthy options for dipping apples?

Absolutely! You can try dipping your apples in Greek yogurt, almond butter, or homemade fruit salsa. These options are lower in sugar and higher in nutrients compared to traditional dips.

3. Do you have any dip recipes specifically for apples?

Yes, we have several delicious dip recipes on our website that are perfect for apples. Some favorites include our cinnamon apple dip, white chocolate pumpkin dip, and tangy apple dip. Just search "apple dip" on our site to find these recipes.

4. Can you use any type of apple for dipping?

Yes, you can use any type of apple for dipping. However, some varieties may hold up better than others. For example, crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp are great for dipping, while softer apples like Red Delicious may not hold up as well.

5. How can I prevent my apple slices from browning when using dips?

To prevent browning, you can dip your apple slices in a mixture of water and lemon juice before serving them with dips. The acidity in the lemon juice helps slow down the oxidation process and keeps the apples looking fresh for longer.
