As apple pie season rounds the corner, I am reminded of one of my family’s favorite kitchen gadgets, the Apple Peel Away. This device allows brothers, fathers, family guests, and the culinarily challenged to help out with pie prep while enjoying the fruits of kitchen camaraderie.
The contraption clamps to any counter; the apple goes on the end of a sharp, rotating prong that spirals into to a corer/ peeler/slicer device. Turning a crank, the magic happens and out comes an apple that has been cored, peeled, and sliced into an accordion-like helix that tempts creative (or destructive, depends on how you look at it) brothers to employ the apple as a slinky.
Slinky substitute aside, the Peel Away makes perfect apple slices for apple pies. They are 1/4” thin, totally skinless, and ready to be piled high in a homemade (or store-bought) piecrust.
