Tools for making apple desserts

When it comes to cooking and baking with apples, you’re going to be doing a LOT of peeling, coring, and slicing. Here are a few tools I recommend for making it easier:

• Johnny Apple Peeler — this cast iron contraption will peel or core & slice your apples OR do all three at the same time. It’s a serious time-saver if you’re dealing with apples in large quantities.
• Calphalon Easy Grip Apple Corer Slicer — if you don’t mind peeling, this apple corer slicer is a great smaller alternative to the Johnny Apple Peeler.
• Spring Chef Vegetable Peeler — a great basic peeler that’s super affordable

Allrecipes has an excellent article about which varieties of apples work best in which types of dishes. Are you ready to get started? Let’s get to the recipes!
