My Favorite Apple tools:
Our favorite Apple Picker: I love this one! Apple pickers can make the process so much easier! No more scratches from trying to get in close to the tree, and of course – you can get the most beautiful apples from way up high!
*Pro-tip: Use a hot glue gun to round the ends of the “claw” so the metal tips don’t stab your apples!
KitchenAid peeling and spiralizer attachment: HANDS-DOWN FAVORITE! I use this when I’m making a large batch of apple muffins or donuts – but I absolutely love this for when I freeze apples. It is so quick, easy, and very little effort on my part!
Best Apple Corer: If I’m doing everything by hand, I love to use this simple apple corer first. It’s so easy and budget-friendly too!
My Favorite Apple Peeler: Sorry, I don’t like the hand cranks….I might be in the minority. I like using a vegetable or fruit peeler. For me, it’s less of a hassle if I’m going to put in the effort anyway!
