A peeled apple is an apple that has had its skin removed, either manually by cutting or peeling with a knife or peeler, or using an electric apple peeler. The flesh of the apple is then exposed, revealing its texture and color, which can range from white to various shades of yellow, green, and red. The nutrients and fiber in the apple are located primarily in the skin, so by peeling the apple, those benefits are lost. However, some people prefer peeled apples for various reasons including taste preference and ease of digestion.
