Now that apples are coming into season, it should be easy to eat at least one of these staple tree fruits per day. While we love enjoying these sliced or even straight out of hand, many recipes that employ apples as an ingredient call for the fruit to be peeled and cored before use. Keep reading to see our step-by-step on how to prep these autumn favorites for cooking, and be sure to check out our Apple Glossary to learn which apples are best for snacking, baking and more.
Step 1: Peel the apple.Using a vegetable peeler, preferably one with a swivel blade, and starting at the stem end, remove the peel from the apple flesh in a circular motion.
|
Step 3: Cut out the core.Using a paring knife, make an angled incision into the center on one side of the core. Turn the quarter and make another incision to complete the “v” cut and release the core. Repeat with the remaining quarters.
|
Alternatively, you can core a whole apple.To core a whole apple rather than single slices, hold the apple firmly and push an apple corer straight down through the apple. (It may take a little muscle!)
|
Step 4: Use it in your favorite recipe.

Okay, so you have a bushel full of apples and all that peeling and slicing still feels like too much trouble. Look to our apple tools for help. Our apple peeler and corer easily suctions to any countertop and makes the process a breeze. Check out this video for how to use one:
