Apples are such a simple and portable fruit. Apples come in a variety of flavors such as sweet, tart and in-between. Apples are also nutritious and delicious! Here are some techniques of slicing apples:

Sliced Apples: To slice apples using this method, remove the stem from the fruit, and cut it in half from stem top to bottom. Take one half and slice into pieces that are 2-inches at their widest point. You can enjoy these sliced apples on their own or with your favorite dips such as peanut butter, nut butter, and yogurt.

Thinly Sliced Apples: These sliced apples are for little ones and for sandwiches and salads. You just have to remove the stem and cut in half from stem top to bottom. Take one half and cut slices as thinly as you can.

Apple Rings or Apple Donuts: Apple rings are one of the kiddos’ favorites because they look like donuts. To cut apple rings, you have to remove the stem and turn the apple onto its side. Cut through the middle of the fruit, then cut another slice in the same direction. Use a vegetable peeler to carve into and remove the seeds, and this will make a perfect circle in the center of the apple ring/donuts.
