Having peeled bushels by hand (I used to make whole apple turnovers), I wish I would have thought of this.

Put them in the washing machine. I figured this one out long ago. Next time I make apple butter, I will try this peeling technique, too.

Monday I bought an apple peeler from Bed, Bath and Beyond for $19.99 to make apple cobbler this coming weekend. It would never have occurred to me to use a drill motor...and I have several of them.

The BB&B apple peeler peels, slices, and cores an apple with a hand cranked mechanism. Now I have to decide whether to keep, or return, it.
