Our top picks
What kind of peeler do you use on apples?
Technically, you don't need an apple peeler. If you're handy with a small paring knife, you could just use that. But unless you're particularly skilled with one, getting through a mountain of apples could a long while—and opens the door to painful nicks or worse. Instead, we suggest opting for a good peeler. The most common types of peelers are Y-shaped. They're easy to hold and glide through an apple's peel. You'll also see I-shaped peelers, hand-cranked peelers, and electric versions. Bonus: Most of these products also work for potatoes, zucchini, carrots, or any other type of produce with a thin peel.
How we chose these products
We wanted to include apple peelers that worked for everyone. So we asked chefs, restaurateurs, and beverage directors what they use when they peel apples. We also looked to the internet to see what people at home are loving. They had to be sharp, fast, and easy to use. We ended up with a list that has many different-shaped manual peelers, electric peelers, attachment-style peelers, crank-style peelers, and even a not-so-traditional peeler. Whether you are baking up an apple storm or just have a picky peel-averse kiddo, here are all the best apple peelers.
