Apple only brown due to oxidation, or the apple is being exposed to the air. To slow or even stop the browning of an apple, put it in an air-tight container, or seal all the air out.

People have said that soaking the apple in lemon juice for about 5-10 minutes will help stop the browning of the apple, but it is just an old tale, but is worth a shot.

If you are talking about apples browning after they are peeled and cut into pieces, then tossing them in a little olive oil right after cutting will prevent the browning. And olive oil is SO good.

Any acidic liquid will prevent the browning. Lemon juice is often used. Lime, orange or grapefruit will work as well, and can add a nice flavor depending on what one is doing with the cut apples.

Because the reaction causing the browning, oxidisation (a result of exposure to oxygen), is slowed by the reduced temperature. However, a bit of water and lemon juice will slow it far more significantly.
