Delicious Apple & Walnut Tapenade Recipe with Tips for Easy Peeling

[Suzyengl]

I'm making this recipe tomorrow at a show and the recipe calls for peeling the apples. What would be the best product to use to peel the apples?

Thanks!

If you had it, the Apple Peeler/corer/slicer probably. But if you don't, I would just use the serrated peeler....personal favorite of mine. If not that, use a Quikut knife. That's what most people would end up using anyway most likely. (Just don't make a big deal about it. It's only a $1.50 product. hahah)

Or...The Apple Corer, then the Veggie Wedger & then the forged cutlery paring knife to dice up the apples + a cuttingboard, of course.

I just used our Veggie Peeler. I wedged it first with the Apple Wedger then peeled each slice.

I do the veggie peeler too - after I wedge it. Have you tried the apple-walnut tapenade? I made it for our team meeting last month and it had no taste. I think it has to be one of the goat chesse/crostini tapenades. IMO.

You have to use extra mint....

My secret to the Apple & Walnut Tapenade? (and every time I've made it - people have raved!) Make sure and toast the walnuts before you make it, AND add 2 Tbls. of honey to it.

To peel the apples the serrated peeler actually works the best! It actually grabs the skin and peels it great. Really sharp though, watch the edges of your fingers!

Thank for all of the great tips! I appreciate it!

How has everyone been serving this? I like the goat cheese & tapenade crostini idea, but the goat cheese is a little pricey for my budget, and so I am afraid it would be out of the budget for the host as well.
