    Dylan's apple trick was a winner with her fans 

    "I used 2 different kinds of apples which is why some are more yellow than white." She then explained: "Dissolve 1/2 tsp salt in 1 cup cool water. Add apples and let sit for 10 minutes. Drain the water, cover, and keep in the fridge. I rinse and pat them dry before snacking or putting in the lunch box.

    "I also notice my boys are much more willing to snack on apples when they’re sliced and refreshing looking! #howboutthemapples."
