Things You'll Need:
- Apple
- Small paring knife or vegetable peeler
- Large chef’s knife
- Cutting board
-
Step 1
Peel apple, if desired. Use a vegetable peeler or small paring knife.
-
Step 2
Place your cutting board on a level surface. Steady the apple on the cutting board with one hand.
-
Step 3
Cut the apple in half vertically using an 8-inch chef’s knife. Keep your fingers close together and away from the knife blade.
-
Step 4
Turn each half flat side down and cut both in half vertically, so that you have four equal quarters.
-
Step 5
Remove the apple core from each quarter. Hold your knife at a 45-degree angle and make a diagonal cut. Each quarter will now have a flat side where the core was.
-
Step 6
Turn each quarter onto its flat side and cut into two or three slices.
