are they good for sliced apples?

I don't know about apples specifically, but they work great for sliced peppers

They are supposed to be but I broke the end off of one of them the first day by hitting a chicken thigh bone. I own three of them and I use them mainly for cutting vegetables. Mainly onions,leeks,potatoes,carrots,bell peppers and the like.

Made of solid cast iron! I have no problem at all with even the largest golden delicious or granny smith apples. Keep the blades sharp! Some firmer potatoes will require a slower approach. The important thing is to have it firmly attached to a solid base and keep the blades sharp!

Yes, as a matter of fact, this was the main reason for me to purchase this item. If you get the 3 lb bags of apples - they are small - like a tennis ball - they slice perfectly. Start it off without the gripper so you get a flat side of the apple, then put the gripper on and slice fast! They do slice thin, probably about the thickness of a greeting card. I pop them in the oven at about 190 degrees for about 45 minutes and they turn just a tad tan and get crisp. I don't season them at all though you can sprinkle some cinnamon if you want that flavor. They turn out great and you can eat a whole gallon ziploc bag of them without any guilt! Yes, as a matter of fact, this was the main reason for me to purchase this item.

They would do well for that. I use them actually for single serving pot pies, mini fruit pies, and shepherds pie. They're actually pretty versatile.

I would think so. I use mine to cut out piecrust dough and they are good with that. I guess it depends on what type of fruit and how firm it will be.

I might work as well for cucumbers but it surely is efficient for apples ; cz cucumbers are long they may break them

Sure，but u need cut these first. This is not enough for whole fruit one time. The only hard thing for me, just clean it after use.

Do be honest, I haven't tried raw apples, but I guess if you chopped them up small enough it should work on the larger blade. Sorry, I couldn't be more positive.

No. These would not work for pies. I have used it for pasta salad or a dip and chips.

I haven't tried, but they will stick into an apple should you throw them at one...and manage to hit it.

I don't believe so. They are meant for baking/cookie cutting and are not that sharp.

Only if they are small. I prefer to take the core out of my apples after cutting in half or quartering. Pears. Beets etc I also cut in half because the chute is about 3" in diameter.

No. I use them to cut herbs for meals that I cook. They're great for basil and parsley. I shred paper with a paper shredder, not my herb scissors.

I don't think so. These are super awful anyway; I would really suggest you don't buy them. The first time I used mine, was also the last. It was slashed to bits and I was only cutting tomatoes

I would not use them for cutting tin. It would destroy or dull them immediately. I used them for fine cutting such as paper, cloth, etc. I mainly bought them for scrapbooking projects.

I never tried... I always cut them up. Other than kale and spinach this machine works well. I suppose if the while apple fit into the opening and you do not mind the core being in your pulp it would be sting enough to push it through. Vague I realize, but I hope it helps.
