yeah, I suppose I sometimes sacrifice subtler texture sorts of things for health reasons…the peels were vaguely noticeable and if you wanted a silky smooth texture, which I could certainly appreciate, then you’d want to peel them!

Thanks for clarifying.

I agree peels are a good thing, but sometimes apple peels don’t bake or cook well.

WC,
I clarified in the text what to do with the apples. I am still on a learning curve. I never wrote recipes and I’ve really never used them either…I’m using them more now that I’m doing this blog, but I really don’t have the proper etiquette down.

thanks for helping out.

I cored the apples…but I never peel virtually anything. I love peels generally and they are good for us. I wash everything well and buy organic. Root veggies I scrub with a scrub brush but always leaves peels on them too.

I made this recipe up completely…I didn’t even glance at a recipe…so I don’t really know how often it’s done or not with apples. Obviously the idea came from my experience but it may have been pears and not apples that inspired me…I simply don’t know.

I’ve never seen a recipe for poached apples, though why not? We see enough recipes for poached pears, right? I assume you peel & core the apples…?
