Apple Cracking


iamtrevor

Recommended Posts

I saw a video on YouTube a few weeks ago about halving an apple with your hands. I used to try that when I was a young guy, doing it all wrong by using a twisting grip, which never worked.

Well, I tried that the technique shoen in the video. It was even easy. Next step, is cracking it with one hand. Also doable.

Moral of this?

I eat a lot more apples and always halve them first. My friends think I'm a nutcase.

i've never tried for fear i'd just end up mangling the thing up into chunky apple sauce or something.

yeah, lets see the link of how they do it (or how you do it). I do it with a twisting/pushing method but it not EASY and could never be done with one hand like you said is possible in your message. Plus it is not very neat the way i rip it apart, it can be messy.

i saw a guy on iron claw grip twist an apple perfectly in half, but he doesn't really explain the technique.

To do it with one hand, dig your fingers into the navel (where the stalk was) and squeeeeeeeeeeeze!

It CAN be done with one hand. Remove the stalk. Dig you fingers into the navel where the stalk was and squeeze. It doesn't give a perfect halving, but with a crispy apple, it's neat enough. The smaller thae apple, the harder.

Thought I would try it for giggles. My wife thought I was a nut. 15 seconds later she had an apple split into 4 equal pieces. The quartering was actually much easier than the halving. Neither was real tough. Neat parlor trick.
