How people cook with it
Apples are incredibly versatile in the kitchen. They can be enjoyed raw or incorporated into a wide array of sweet and savory dishes.
- Snacking on its own
- Baking in pies and crumbles

- Juicing for beverages
To prepare an apple, begin by washing it thoroughly under cool running water. You can then choose to peel the skin or leave it on, depending on your preference and the recipe. For most uses, the core and seeds should be removed. This can be done by slicing the apple into quarters and cutting out the core from each piece, or by using an apple corer. Once prepped, apples can be sliced, diced, or grated as needed for your culinary creations. They are excellent when cooked until tender in baked goods or sautéed with spices.

How to keep the rest
