    In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice with about 2 cups of cold water. Set aside.

    Slice the apples, unpeeled, into matchsticks. As you cut, toss the matchsticks into the lemon water to prevent browning. Once all apples are cut, toss the matchsticks to coat well in the lemon water, then drain thoroughly.
