All About Apple Corers

Take the work out of apple cutting!

Using an apple corer takes the strain off your hands when making apple pies, apple rings, baked apples and more. The stainless-steel head of an apple corer slices easily through the middle of the fruit in less time and with less effort that can be done by hand!

Twist and turn

Round perfect apple rings are simple with an apple corer. Simply center the tool over the stem end of an apple, push down firmly and twist it so that the serrated blade cuts through the meat. There you have it, a perfectly cored apple, ready for your favorite apple recipe! Clean up is easy too!

Easy grip

Look for an apple corer with a non-slip rubber handle to absorb the pressure of cutting and to make it easier to grip. Stainless steel apple corers work well because they are strong and durable. Other features to look for include:

Non -slip handle, wet or dry

Fruit core removes easily from corer head

Stainless steel corer head for easy cleaning and precise cut

A step up

For just a few dollars more than an apple corer costs, you can get an apple corer slicer that cuts apples into twelve uniform sections while simultaneously removing the core. This gadget will make pie making, salad making and apple snack time so much less time consuming! The stainless steel blades on an apple corer slicer are securely fastened to the frame and will cut your apples cleanly and evenly.

Back to basics

Get back to the basics with an old fashioned apple peeler. This odd looking contraption will peel, core and slice a bushel of apples in no time! The old-fashioned apple corer peeler slicer clamps to the edge of a counter or cutting board to keep is steady. Just follow these easy steps to create a perfectly peeled spiral cut apple:

1. Skewer an apple on the end of the apple corer's three-pronged fork with the tines positioned around the core of the apple.

2. Next, swing the arm that holds the peeling blade toward the apple so it's just grazing the skin.

3. Start turning the apple corer's hand crank and the machine simultaneously removes the apple's skin and core while cutting it into narrow slices.

4. You may also peel only, or core and slice without peeling.

Apple picking season

The apple corer peeler slicer does not work with overripe, soft apples. It's best to use your apple corer during the apple harvest season to prepare fresh, firm apples for applesauce, dehydrating, freezing or canning.
