This contraption is manufactured by many folks and has been around forever. If you're serious about cooking mass quantities of apples (now that it's apple-picking season), you absolutely need to have one. These pictures are from the day I made Apple Butter. You start by jamming an apple onto the prongs at the end of a long crank.
As you turn the crank, the apple is rotated and pushed forward at the same time. It passes by a spring-loaded blade that takes off the peel as the apple turns.
At the same time, another blade slices the apple into a thin spiral cut and removes the core.You can find this style of apple peeler in lots of places. The Back to Basics brand I use sells for $23 from Amazon.
