• Peeled apples will give you a pleasant tangy burst of flavor, but without the chewy bits giving you an unpleasant surprise. 
• Something else to consider is that eating the skin is not always that healthy these days.: some farmers spray toxic chemicals on the apples to prevent them from spoiling; others add an unhealthy wax coating to extend shelf life. Peeling your apples will prevent you from ingesting these harmful toxins!
