Orange Apples
Worm Gear
We received a bag of Cox’s Orange Pippin apples at Thanksgiving! Carrot Soup immediately got to work…

Cranky work
…turning the crank on the venerable apple-peeler/corer.
.
.
Apple Coil
It makes quick work of apple-processing…
.
.
Vat
The slices are dipped into a vat of water with a splash of vinegar…
.
.
Dehydrator
…and then arranged on the trays of the dehydrator…
.
.
Pile of Peels
…and the peels go to the compost.

Small
Carrot Soup thinks the peeler/corer is a great invention, and is glad the Hittys have one too – small enough to fit in the Hitty Cupboard’s kitchen cupboard!

Those look good! Dried apples are a favorite snack of mine, as are the peels from the peeler. Good memories.
They are so yummy, and healthy too and we know the very tree the apples came from! I like the peels too!
How very handy to have a big apple peeler as well as a Hitty-sized one. The larders sound like they will be well-supplied this upcoming winter season. Dear Carrot Soup looks to have been a big help.
She was a big help! We are angling for another bag of windfalls – the processing goes so quickly it almost doesn’t seem like work – just a bit of fun and a sticky counter top afterwards!
YUM!!! Is there anything that says Autumn like the harvest of apples? Viewing this gives me a hankering for apple crisp. That apple peeler looks so handy…and leave it to our Quimper human to find a Hitty sized peeler. Just adorable.
We are especially grateful to our relative for the bag of windfalls since our own tree has gone. The peeler is amazing – all done in two shakes of a lamb’s tail!
Your Hitty size apple corer/peeler is amazing! Which company made it? I use the apple corer/peeler for apple pies too! Wonderful invention.
The small peeler was a Re-ment item, given to me a few years ago by a generous Hitty friend.
that Hitty size apple peeler is quite the show stopper! Carrot Soup is such a hard worker. I think you have inspired me to get out my dehydrator and go to work!
We are very fond of home-dried apples – we did pears this year too! We are all set, even the denizens of the Hitty cupboard!
