We purchased this at Christmas and got one for our daughter as well.  Putting more veggies into our lives is fun now.  We spiralize zucchini and other squashes for noodles and either have them alone or mix with a little pasta for healthier, less carb meals.  
I have yet to bake an apple pie, but no the task will be easier with the peel, core and slice.  Looking forward to that. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
