How to Prep Apples Like a Pro Got a lot of apples to plow through? Here's the chef's secret to doing it quickly. Step 1 Starting around where you think the seeds might be, start slicing the sides off the apple. One down. Step 2 One more. Step 3 Short sides too. Step 4 Discard the core. Step 5 Lay each piece flat-side down. Step 6 Slice each piece, leaving the apples reasonably together. Step 7 Use your knife to straighten the sides of each piece. Step 8 Then, press down with your hand to fan the slices out. Step 9 Slide your knife blade under the slices. Step 10 Then, pick up the slices … Step 11 … and arrange them in your tart shell. Step 12 Perfect. Ready to bake!
