What can I use if I don't have lemon juice for apple pie?

SOS! In the midst of baking an apple pie, I realized my kitchen is fresh out of lemon juice. This ingredient usually keeps apples from browning, adding a slight tang to balance sweetness. Could vinegar or lime juice work as substitutes? Maybe there are other alternatives I haven’t considered. Would love your input on this!
 
I tried using orange juice before and it turned out great! But, just remember that the flavor will be slightly different. Hope this helps! 🧡
 
I sometimes add apple cider to mine. The taste might differ but not in a bad way tho. It will also add more of subtle apple flavor to the pie.. I also read somewhere that you can try orange juice but i hadn't tried that yet. Let me know which one works!
