Doc Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Peeled apples for years like this. Used a cord version. Thought everyone peeled apples this way! Be careful on the rotation speed though. Apples can become sauce, real quick, LOL. No, you wouldn't believe the slow archaic way I struggle through it. Basically it has gotten to the point where I don't even eat an apple if somebody doesn't peel it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdwaz Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 I call those bits "spade" bits. What fun are those hand cranks? I've used them and they work great but that drill looks like a hoot!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Track Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 We have a faster process for apple sauce. wash the apples and cook them whole. put cooked apples in an hand-crank grinder that pushes the sauce through a strainer. The skin and seeds come out the end. It is something like this: https://www.lehmans.com/p-876-roma-food-mill.aspx In 3 hours we had 16 quarts of apple sauce ready for canning. Turned some of it into apple butter. Parents have the apple trees and hand-crank peeler. We just wait for the pies to be made. Less mess at my house.
