Apple Crisp
8/13/2018 at 9:41 PM

I will be making apple crisp with crab apples for the very first time (thank you crab apple tree!!). Do you normally peel the apples or leave the skin on?

I generally peel the skin on regular apples for crisp, but not sure if crab apples are any different?

Out of laziness I started not peeling the apples and now I prefer it. Saves so much time and like mentioned, the peel holds a lot of nutrition. (Cuz you know that’s important when you’re adding sugar and cinnamon to it!! Hehe)

I just got a box of apples from my FIL today actually so I guess tomorrow is crisp and juice making day!

I don't peel any apples when making crisp. When I freeze bags of cut up apples to make crisps in the winter, I leave the peels on those too.

I never peel crab apples for anything because they are so small and fiddly.

No peels it is, thank you! I was a little concerned about how long it was going to take to peel them all. Not peeling will definitely speed things up!

If they are smaller crabs cut all sides off of the apple around the core, so 4 cuts. You are left with a "square" core. It is fast & simple!

If you do peel larger apples, you can use these peels to make your own pectin for jams, especially if your apples are a bit underripe.
