Apple peeler/corer/slicer

Bought one 4 years ago at a garage sale. It's a little worse for wear these days as we peel ~3 bushels of apples a year for pies, jams, apple sauce & the like. Would / will get another one if this one breaks beyond fixing...one of the better inventions I've seen.

Why do you all peel and core your apples if making sauce?

I just cut my apples into 1/4's, put them in some boiling water, when tender take them out and feed them into my KitchenAid strainer that strains the peels and cores out.

How do you all strain your sauce?

The kids like the applesauce real chunky so it's easier to peal & core first. The thin slices breakdown into chunks after the apples cook for a bit.

I have the clamp on type. My Wife, SIL, and I, made 56 Apple pies on Saturday. I used about 300 apples. The little machine worked very well.

I bought mine from Lehman's catalogue..just clamps onto the table and it will either peel or slice or core..or all three, whatever you want it to do. I've never had any problems with it. All of my Amish girlfriends in PA recommended it..and I'm glad that they did..

I was going to post the link, but it was too long..it's now $39.95.
I bought mine several years ago and I think I paid around $30..

If I'm making applesauce I don't peel and core. I peel and core only when I am either dehydrating, making chutney, or making apple pie filling.

I only make chunky applesauce..always peel and core and never ever strain anything..it's sooooooo good (if I do say so myself)...

Mine was a cheap one we bought at a cracker barrel restaurant...

I love it, and haven't had any trouble.

We like our applesauce on the chunky side too! And I like a little texture in my apple butter too.

This is my third night of setting up the crockpot to cook the apple butter while we are sleeping. Works great and I love waking up to the smell - not mention a little hot apple butter for my toast.

Thanks everyone for your opinons.

We use a generic one that my mom bought for my wife as a gift to slice, peel and core.


Apple sauce we just quarter it up and run it through the victorio... voila, great homemade applesauce. Sometimes with some cinnamon and sometimes with a bit of sugar, depending on the apple types we get.
