Step 1 of 10

Take the apple and hold the stem. Spin the apple until the stem pops off!

Step 2 of 10

Tada!

Step 3 of 10

Grab the apple with both hands. You want it to be mostly on the pads of your thumbs.

Step 4 of 10

Like so!

Step 5 of 10

Trick is to pull apart and twist at the same time!

Step 6 of 10
Step 7 of 10

Now time to tear! Watch closely since you have to do it fast for it to work!

Step 8 of 10
Step 9 of 10

It might take a few tries! Some apples are easier than others. And also the size of the apple in comparison to your hands is a factor in easiness!

Step 10 of 10

Have fun! Hope my first Snapguide is ok!

Erica Kefah Legaux Abdullah

Gala apples are red and yellow. They are crisp. Red apples are sweeter than a tart tangy gala. Reds have softer meat. Green apples are super crisp n tangy.
