slo’s TUESDAY poll - Biting Into vs. Cutting Up An Apple

[BrianL]

I have one of those round cutter things that makes a bunch of perfect slices, so I usually use that, but I can just bite into it too if I want or am not at home.

 

[Dan Murphy]

Adding here, if at home, for slicing apples, or maybe other hard type fruits. I bought this on Amazon a couple years ago after both our older one was in bad shape as well as too small for some of the larger Haney Crisp apples. It is great!!!

I always cut up. I think it may have started 50+ years ago when I had braces and was not supposed to bite into a whole apple and it just stayed with me.

We were on vacation last year in a motel with a bagged continental breakfast. There was an apple in each days meal so I had to go to the local Dollar Tree to buy a knife so I could eat them.

I’ve bought a dollar knife at Dollar store too in a pinch!

I only eat apples in pie, so cut up or sliced. A whole apple in a pie would be awkward.

 

[BlueStarryHat]

I cut an apple up, always. I've got a fake tooth in the front and biting apples are in my past.

Biting only and I eat the whole apple including the core just leaving the woody stalk.

I like my apple cut. I buy the pre sliced apples on occasion to. I like to dip them in caramel.

 

[loves to dive]

Almost always cut. I like a cut up apple with a dollop of peanut butter on the plate for dipping.

yep

 

[jo-jo]

The only time I cut up apples is when I have PB with it, otherwise, bite.

 

[amcnj]

I almost always bite into the apple. Occasionally I will be somewhere that has apple slices and when I eat them think to myself that I should cut them too. But somehow I just never do it!

Almost always cut. I like a cut up apple with a dollop of peanut butter on the plate for dipping.

I have never had an apple with anything else, but I imagine dipping in peanut butter would be really good. I’ll have to try that next time.

Depends on how I plan to eat it. If at home and eating the whole apple in one sitting, then I eat it whole. If taking on the go as a snack when away from home, works better to cut it up and splash some orange/lemon juice on the slices to prevent browning. When on the go, it isn't always practical or I don't care to eat the entire apple at one time and it gets brown if you don't finish it off right away.

 

[georgina]

I cut it up when eating at home, often with PB on top. When away from home I just bite into it. Don't peel.

 

[Walt's Dream]

Cut-up, preferably peeled and eaten with peanut butter!

 

[howardlee2]

gala or red delicious, bite them ALWAYS

 

[PrincessShmoo]

When I was younger and had better teeth, I could bite into apples. Now, with multiple crowns and implants, cutting into smaller pieces works better.

 

[diznygirl]

I love apples and just don’t take the time to cut them up. I used to do it for the kids and still have the apple slicer in a drawer somewhere.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I bite because I am too lazy to cut them up.
