Alright, so lately I’ve been interested in apple dividers.
This handy kitchen utensil slices and separates your produce effortlessly. All you have to do is put the apple slicer in the center of your fruit, use steady pressure to push the slicer through the entire piece, and you’ll have a perfectly cut apple.
And if you think that this cutlery gadget is just great for the apples, then just know that you can use it for so much more.
Down below, I’ve gathered some of the best tips and hacks so you can get the most out of your apple cutter tool. Not only will this save you time, but these ideas will make meal prepping so much easier. These tips also make it a lot more convenient and make your kitchen safer with the non-slip feature that these slicers normally have.
So check them out and let me know what you think!
Peach Cutter
If you have some fresh peaches that need to be sliced before adding to your fruit salad, you can use an apple cutter rather than a sharp knife.
This will also be easier if the peach isn’t super ripe.
Mozzarella Ball
Deep-fried mozzarella sticks are one of the best appetizers at a party. And if you’re someone who’s in charge of cooking, try using an handheld apple slicer to cut the mozzarella ball equally. The sizes are perfect for quick bites and ready for dipping.
Doughnut Holes
Also, why not use an apple slicer to cut your pastry dough? You’ll have some cute shaped doughnut holes that are ready to pop in hot oil. Sprinkle some cinnamon or powdered sugar on top and you’re done!
Onions
Whether you’re planning to make a kebab or fajitas, thick wedge-like onion slices are needed. And to more easily cut them into equal sizes, and without shedding tears, try using an apple divider (or even an apple Spiralizer for pakoras!).
It’ll be ready so much more quickly!
Cookie Dough
If you don’t have a cookie cutter at home, try using an apple divider. It makes it easy to use and to cut cookie dough into equal sizes. You really will save so much time!
This is also pretty great since you can make sure that they bake evenly.
Potato Wedges
Instead of buying precut potato wedges, try to make your own and use the apple slicer to save time.
You just have to wash and peel (peeling is optional) your potatoes, slice them using an apple cutter, season with salt and pepper, and deep fry or pop into your oven. They’ll taste great and your prep time will be cut in half.
Pears
Just like apples, pears are also easy to slice with a slicer. It divides into eight equal parts and the core is cut out separately. Try packing the sliced pears into a small baggie for a quick grab-and-go healthy snack.
I hope these apple corer hacks help you get the best out of your cutlery gadget! So definitely try them out, and let me know what you think!
