When I had organic apples, I didn't peel them when doing recipes with them. But then again, I like "bite" in my food. But since I use non-organic apples now (my supply ran out!), I have to peel them, sadly!

I am trying to remedy the whole supply issue by planting my own orchard, but the deers are giving me a hard time (they ate all the apples last year and killed several trees)... Maybe I'll be luckier this year!
