Recipe from my dear sister Jen Derrick
Does anything need to be done with the apples, so they don’t turn brown?
Drizzle them with a little lemon juice
Bridget,
The pineapple juice concentrate is enough to keep the apples from going brown. We kept the salad in the fridge for several days and they never went brown. You should be good to go!
Best of luck!

Very good! My rum ext. was bad so I had to sub vanilla and almond extracts. I will definitely be making this again!
This is my new favorite fruit salad! I may have eaten half of it before dinner. This is fantastic!
Is there a good option for the pineapple concentrate? Would orange juice be as good?
