Permalink Apple Pro Peeler from Starfrit® Giveaway
A trip to the apple orchard and our bags are laden with delectable fruit, waiting to be used for yummy baking recipes...but wait...sigh...peeling and coring them is so much work, and I seriously do find it a chore to do so.
I was recently sent a Starfrit Apple Pro Peeler to use and review; and my family is thankful.
It now officially takes me longer to do the dishes, than it does to prepare the apples for baking.
In just seconds the Apple Pro Peeler, peels your apple with such precision that only a minuscule amount of fruit gets removed with the peel. Use the included corer/slicer and you might only have to cube the apples at that point for baking.
The see through design make it fun for kids to watch you use, or if they are a bit older use themselves (only under supervision, the blade and the prongs are very sharp), and it has some what of a retro look to it.
The suctioned cup feet on the base make it slip resistant when using it, which is a nice feature.
The only thing I found awkward, is while taking the apple off the prongs when the peel has been removed, I have to hold the handle down with one hand, while grabbing the apple with the other. Maybe that's the intended way to remove the apple or maybe I'm just a 94 pound weakling, but I find it a little tough to do, lol.
All in all though that is a minor inconvenience for the quickness that this system does peeling, coring and slicing the apples.
Here is a recipe I made, using the Apple Pro Peeler as my prepping tool.
Apple Cake with Caramel Sauce
2 1/2 cups apples, chopped
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
(mix together set aside)1 cup flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
(Mix together set aside)1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 egg, beaten
1/2 tsp vanilla
(Stir into apple mixture)Mix the apples and the dry ingredients together. Pour into a greased pie plate. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Top with Ice Cream Caramel Sauce.
If you'd like to make the apple prep work in your kitchen faster, you can purchase the Starfrit Apple Peeler Pro for $16.99 - that includes the corer/slicer and 3 additional replacement blades.
