    Check out my food cutting video for diced apples for the complete step by step.

    How to dice apples step by step

    All you need to dice apples is a ​​chef’s knife and a cutting board.

    1. Slice off large chunks
    2. Slice chunks to 1” half moons
    3. Dice moons to 1” chunks
    4. Add apples to your favorite salads and desserts

    FAQs 

    How do you prevent diced apples from turning brown?

    Squeeze a little lemon juice into a bowl of water and submerge diced apples in the water. Store in the fridge if you’re prepping the morning of making a recipe. 

    When dicing apples, how big is a dice?

    For bite-size pieces, I recommend dicing apples to 1” chunks.

    What’s the best knife for dicing apples?

    Here I’m using a “chef’s knife” which is considered “long”. It’s a 8″ Shun chef’s knife. It’s a more luxury brand of knife and for good reason. I’ve had mine for years and use it all the time.

    When dicing apples do you remove the skin?

    I usually leave the skins on red apples and green apples. If you don’t like them, use a vegetable peeler to remove them in advance of dicing. 

    How can you dice apples in bulk?

    If you’re dicing apples in bulk, you could use a tool like an apple corer. It’s handheld and will section off chunks of the apple and remove the core. But I find it easy to dice apples for an apple pie or salad with a chef’s knife. 

    Tips for dicing frozen apple slices

    Obviously be careful dicing frozen apples because they’re more slippery and difficult to cut through when frozen. Ideally, dice apples before freezing them for smoothies and things like that. 

    Recipe for salad with apples

    Kale salad is one of my favorite ways to use apples from apple picking or fall harvest at the farmers market. Made with dried cranberries, it’s a perfect fall recipe or modern Thanksgiving holiday appetizer. See how to make my kale apple slaw salad with diced apples.

    Are you a foodie, too?

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to smoking tasty Traeger recipes and making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    You’ll notice, I kind of geek out over new cooking trends and tools!

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!

    See my book on Amazon: The Home Chef’s Sous Vide Cookbook.
