I don't usually peel it, because it's too much of work for me, I just grab it and eat it as it is. But my mother peels apples quite often, because during the winter and spring periods there are preservatives added to the fruits, so they won't go bad during that long period. That's why my mother peels them - she doesn't want to eat all these chemicals apples are sprayed with.

Depends on what I am going to be doing with the apple. If I just want to eat an apple then I will simply wash it off and eat it whole. However, if I am planning on using it for some kind of baking then I am a lot more likely to peel the apple and dice it before I use it for whatever I am wanting to prepare. I think that the majority of the nutrients in the apple come from the peel so I've always ate them whole.

I don't peel it too. I just simply wash it and there eat the whole apple. The skin is the healthiest part of the apple for it has a lot of fibers that is good for the skin. I also like the crispy taste of apple skin.

Same here, I just eat the skin too. It all tastes good to me. Well, except for seeds, obviously.

i usually peel it especially for the apples imported. I really think in the process of transportation, there need to have some chemical to ensure the freshness of the apples.

always have to peel it. i can't stand having the skin in my apples. i love eating it just like that, plain and natural, but sometimes adding extras is fine, like sprinkling some brown sugar on sliced peeled apples.

Neither. Don't really like apples, more into pears. And I slice those into spears, then peel them.

I don't peel the apple when I eat it because the skin is more nutritious and the nutrients are there. I just wash it thoroughly to remove the impurities.

Hi roger! I don't peel the skin too, I just eat it. I've been doing it since I was a kid coz my parents always tell me to the skin coz it has a lot of nutrients in it :) I also like eating the skin since aside from the fact that it's more convenient, I also feel like I haven't really eaten the apple if I don't include its skin, LOL. But I do make it sure that I washed it thoroughly before eating it :)

No, my friend. I don't peel apple. I eat it with skins because peeled ones can't attract me to eat. Alongside, peeling isn't advisable by the nutrition specialists. Have a nice eating.

I eat in with the skin. I will love it if someone will peel it for me though. I like my apples to be a bit chilled.

Hi! I don't peel the apple whenever I eat it. I find it more crunchy when it has the skin on it. Thus, the skin makes the apple more tempting especially when it's red and shiny. The skin also has nutrients so I don't peel it off. "An apple a day, drives the doctor away..." =)

I usually eat apples with skin on it. These fruits have very thin skin making it impractical to be peeled.

I normally will eat the apple with the skin. But first, I will have to wash it thoroughly with clean water, because of the possible presence of pesticides.

For me if an apple doesn't the peel in it then it's not apple(unless is apple pie hehe) because I like the crunchiness of the peel.
