Apple Peeler Corer Slicer

Built for Apple Season, Useful All Year

There is a specific moment every fall when you look at the basket of apples on the counter — or the full box coming off the truck — and reckon with exactly how long hand peeling is going to take. A sharp knife and good intentions get you partway through a pie's worth before your wrist decides it's had enough. The rest of the apples wait.

A countertop crank apple peeler settles that argument before it starts. You mount it to the counter, load an apple, and one complete turn of the handle later the skin is off, the core is out, and the fruit is already sliced into a spiral of uniform rings. Five seconds, give or take. For a pie, that's eight to ten apples in under a minute. For a full bushel destined for applesauce, jars, or the dehydrator, the math gets even better.

The frame on this apple peeler corer slicer is cast aluminum and iron — properly weighted, no flex. The stainless steel cutting blade holds its edge and won’t stain or corrode from repeated contact with fruit acids. TPR handles absorb the vibration of the crank. This is a serious piece of kitchen kit that earns its spot in the drawer season after season, not something you use twice and forget about.

• Strips skin, bores the core & slices into rings — one full crank
• Or peel only: engage just the skin blade for sauce and butter
• Suction base (smooth counters) + C-clamp (up to 1.5″ thick) — both in the box
• Cast aluminum, iron chassis, 18/8 stainless steel blades, TPR grips — rust-proof
• Handles apples and potatoes equally well
• 10 × 4.25 × 5.25 inches; wipe clean with warm soapy water

What you'll make with it

From the Orchard to the Jar: A Crank Apple Peeler’s Best Work

This apple peeler corer slicer earns its place on the counter most between late summer and Christmas, but it's a useful tool every month of the year — potatoes alone make it worth keeping in reach.

Suction Base & C-Clamp — Included Together

Most crank apple peelers arrive with one mounting option. This one ships with both, so your counter surface isn’t an obstacle. The suction base locks flat onto granite, sealed stone, laminate, or any non-porous kitchen counter — press the lever, and it holds through a full afternoon of cranking. The C-clamp attaches to the edge of a butcher block worktop, wood table, or thick cutting board up to 1.5 inches thick. Whichever your kitchen has, you’re covered out of the box.

Questions & answers

Common Questions About This Apple Peeler Corer Slicer

What does a crank apple peeler actually do, and is it worth it?

A crank apple peeler mounts to your counter and uses a rotating fork plus a set of blades to strip the skin, hollow the core, and slice an apple in the time it takes to load the next one. Whether it’s worth it depends entirely on volume: for one apple, a paring knife is faster. For a pie’s worth, the peeler wins by the third apple. For a bushel, it isn’t a contest.

What is the best apple peeler corer slicer for making pies?

For pie, you want consistent ring thickness above everything else — uneven slices cook at different rates, leaving some overdone and others still firm. This crank peeler produces a continuous spiral that separates into matching rings every time, regardless of how irregular the apple’s shape.

Can I use this as just an apple peeler, without slicing?

Yes. Disengage the coring tube and slicing arm to run the machine in peel-only mode. The blade follows the contour of the apple and removes the skin in a single long ribbon, leaving the fruit intact. That’s the right setting for applesauce, apple butter, or baked apples.

How do the suction base and C-clamp differ, and when should I use each?

The suction base needs a smooth, non-porous surface to create a vacuum seal — granite, laminate, glass, or sealed tile. The C-clamp is for wood worktops, butcher block, bare stone, or any textured surface the suction cup can’t grip. It clamps to edges and surfaces up to 1.5 inches thick. Both are in the box.

Does this apple peeler also work for potatoes?

It does — and it’s genuinely useful for them. Run a potato in peel-only mode for mashing or roasting. Use peel-and-slice for scalloped dishes, gratins, casseroles, and homemade chips. The stainless steel blade handles tougher potato skins without any adjustment.

How long does it take to peel a bushel of apples?

At a comfortable pace — load, crank, reload — most people process a full bushel (around 125 apples) in 12 to 18 minutes with this machine. Hand-peeling the same quantity typically takes 60 to 90 minutes depending on skill and how tired your hands get.

How do I clean an apple peeler corer slicer?

After use, wipe the blade, fork, slicer, and frame with a warm damp cloth or sponge with a drop of dish soap. Rinse and dry fully before storing. Don’t submerge the whole assembly or run it through a dishwasher. A two-minute wipe-down after each session is all it needs.
