How to Slice an Apple with a Peeler

Would you like to cut uniform apple slices without using a mandoline? Then look no further than a peeler. A peeler can give you wafer-thin slices without all the work. Best of all, this technique is extremely easy.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Apple
• Peeler
• Knife
• Lemon juice

1. Peel the apple. Simply peel the apple the same way you normally would, making sure to get every piece of skin.

2. Cut the apple into quarters, using a knife. This will make it easier to handle the apple while you slice it.

3. Remove the core. Cut into each quarter at an angle in order to remove the core.

4. Pull the peeler along the cut edge. Hold each quarter of the apple so a cut edge is exposed. Pull the peeler along this cut edge, while applying medium pressure. This will ensure that you have wafer-thin slices.

5. Place slices in lemon juice–spiked water. As you slice the apple, place the pieces into a mixture of lemon juice and water. This will prevent your slices from turning brown. (You can also slice the apples straight over a bowl of lemon water.)

Tips & Warnings

• Apply the same amount of pressure each time so that you get uniform slices.
• Don't let pieces of skin clog up the peeler when you're cutting slices. Make sure you get it all removed when you peel the apple.
