Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

To make uniform apple slices, cut apples in half. Cut out the core. Place halves cut-side down on a cutting board and slice into crescents.

Or, core and slice apples at once with an apple corer by placing the tool on the fruit and pushing down. Keep slices from discoloring by sprinkling with fresh lemon juice. If you want the apples peeled, do so before slicing.
