Hi, Patsy. A lot of apple pie or cobbler or crisp recipes call for you to toss apples in lemon juice. This is to prevent the apples from browning. In this recipe, the lemon juice balances out the sweetness of the apples. You could sub the lemon juice with lime juice or even apple cider vinegar. If using vinegar, only use half as much as is called for.
