Preparation and Serving:
– Before consuming/using, wash your apples thoroughly to remove any pesticides or surface soil/dust
– When slicing or cubing, trim off top with a paring knife and cut apple in half. Cut out seeds/pulp with knife and then slice or cube into desired pieces
– A vegetable peeler, swivel peeler or paring knife can be used to peel an apple. For best results, start at the top of the apple and circle down the circumference
– The apple core can be removed easily by halving or quartering the apple and then using a paring knife to cut out the core
– Apples can be eaten raw, baked, candied, boiled or used to make cakes, pies, muffins, salads, jellies, jams, sauces, butters, juices, vinegar, apple cider beverages and many more
