10 Best Apple Slicers in 2023 (Chef-Reviewed)

Pros:

• Safety cover doubles as a base
• Cover pushes apple up to finish slicing
• Dishwasher-safe
• Most buyers agree the blades are sharp
  

Cons:

• Some reviewers said it dulls quickly or takes some force to use

This eight-slice apple cutter has an attached lid that covers the blade when you aren't using it. The cover can be used to pop out the slices of apple after you've pushed the cutter through, so you get a clean separation.

Since the cover cannot be detached from the blade, some reviewers didn't understand how to use it. Those who realized the cover is just for finishing your cut praised it, and loved how the cover pushed out the slices and the core. 

With oversized and elevated handles, you’ll have total control and comfort when slicing your apples using this corer from Calphalon. The blades are durable, so they’ll cut smoothly, but won't detach despite heavy use. It takes up a bit more space than some other slicers but the shape helps provide more force when cutting.

Some reviewers warned that this slicer won't cut all the way through the bottom, since there's no base to elevate the apple when cutting. Other reviewers praised the slicer. They said the device is easy to use, and has lasted them for more than three years.

With an adjustable number of blades, you can set this corer to 16 for your apple cobbler, or eight for your kid’s after-school snack. When the two layers are aligned it makes eight wedges, but when you turn the upper layer, you get 16. The center hole is reported to be larger than other brands, at about 1.5 centimeters.

Pros:

• Creates 12 slices
• Durable stainless steel handles
• Comes with a cleaning brush
• Eight wedge model available
• Dishwasher-safe
• Blades are reportedly sharp
  

Cons:

• Not recommended for harder apples like green apples, according to the manufacturer
• Some reviewers said the blades popped out easily

If eight slices are too thick for you, but 16 is too thin, try 12! These extra-sharp blades easily slice through apples, creating 12 perfect slices. This slicer comes with a cleaning brush to clear out apple pieces. Entirely made of stainless steel, it's durable and dishwasher-safe.

Reviewers warn that the blades are very sharp. Be careful when handling it or when washing it, and always be aware of where the cutting edge is. However, most reviewers were thrilled by the slicer's sharp blades and ability to carve up bigger apples up to four inches.

This will cut 16 thin slices from your favorite apple - perfect for making applesauce or apple pie, dehydrating, or snacking. The protective guard covers the blades during storage, and when you use the cover as a base, it will push the apple slices and core out safely without you having to remove them by hand.

This uniquely-designed apple slicer includes a base that positions the apple beneath the blades. Strengthened by a glide pole, it allows you to press down on non-slip handles and slice the apple onto the base, removing the need for a cutting board. It's efficient and easy to use.

Reviewers praised the safety and convenience of the slicer and its base. They warned that the blades are not the sharpest, and a firm press is required for tougher apples. But they loved the easy operation and thoughtful design.

Pros:

• Wide, non-slip handles for easy grip
• Sharp steel blades
• Silicone pads for comfort
• Dishwasher-safe

Cons:

• The core blade doesn't always cut through the apple

OXO's apple slicer offers wide handles, so it's easier to grip and it places less pressure on your hands. It's also slip-proof and raised, so your hands won't hit the table once you push down the slicer. The tool as a whole is dishwasher-safe. 

Some critical reviewers noted the inner ring broke after weeks of use and warned that the slicer's core section doesn't always cut through the apple. On the other hand, most reviewers love the slicer, saying that it makes slicing an apple a breeze and helps save time.

Pros:

• Great for extra-large apples; blade diameter is just over 4.5 inches
  
• Comes in three colors
• Flat design for easy storage
• Non-slip handles
• Dishwasher-safe

Cons:

• Some reviewers wished the blades were sharper
• Others say it doesn't cut all the way through the bottom
  

With a 4.5-inch diameter, this slicer can handle most apples, even large ones. The handles are made of silicone for easy grip and you can choose from three colors: red, black, and orange. The handles aren't as raised as other slicers, so it can fit easily into drawers.

Reviewers felt the cutter wasn't sharp enough or that it was actually too large. On the other hand, since it is large, it works on misshapen apples. Reviewers say it's easy to use and love that it's easy to store.

Pros:

• Non-slip handles
• Includes two slicers
• Dishwasher-safe

Cons:

• Too small for larger apples

Utopia Kitchen's apple slicer comes in a set of two, so if you misplace one, want to give one to a friend, or need multiple slicers in use at once, this set might be for you. The handles are made of silicone for an easy, non-slip grip. The slicers are also dishwasher-safe and cut your apples into eight even pieces.

Reviewers say the blades aren't very sharp, so it does take some pressure to push it through apples. In addition, it only works on smaller varieties of apples. On the other hand, most reviewers were happy that it worked as advertised, has large, comfortable handles, and can go in the dishwasher.

Pros:

• Slices, peels, and cores apples
• Can peel, slice, and core simultaneously, or just peel
  
• Sturdy cast-iron design
• Fast operation, great for heavy use
• Also available with suction base

Cons:

• Heavier than most apple slicers
• The clamp may slip while in use

Reviewers say the peeler slips even when clamped down, as there is no rubber section to fix it onto your countertop. You might have to re-tighten it while using it. In general, reviewers love how well and fast it works, and they say it's great for preparing baking apples and apple slices for the dehydrator.
