Rinse the apples thoroughly under cool running water. Pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Place an apple upright on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the apple into quarters, slicing around the core. Alternatively, use an apple corer/slicer for perfectly uniform wedges. Discard the core and seeds.
Slice each quarter into thinner wedges, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick, depending on your preference.
Immediately place the cut slices into a medium-sized bowl. Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the slices.
Gently toss the slices with your hands or a spatula to ensure every piece is lightly coated with lemon juice. This will prevent them from oxidizing and turning brown.
Serve immediately for the best crispness, or store in an airtight container or zip-top bag in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
