It's important to rinse fruits and vegetables before eating or cooking with them--like one's hands, we want to prevent the spread of bacteria, as well as the threat of contaminating the inner flesh with dirt or wax from the outside of the apple.
[To demonstrate, once Red moves aside after washing his hands, Cilan will start rinsing these apples under the water as he continues speaking.]
When baking pies with fruit in them, essentially you want to make a loose jam inside the crust, something that will remain firm and cohesive without resisting a fork or getting stuck in one's teeth. Apple skins can be detrimental to that, as they will prevent the apple pieces from melding neatly together with the other pieces inside.
But, not to worry, we can use the skins for something else, so they won't go to waste.
[The apples are rinsed and placed on the counter, along with a container to place the skins in. He holds up an apple and a knife and proceeds to peel it, somehow managing to get the skin off in one fluid strip because of course Cilan would show off a little here before discarding the peeled skin into the container provided. He then holds out another apple and the knife for Red to take.]
Alright, go ahead and take care of this one--be careful though, this knife has a pretty sharp edge to it.
[Red does already know how to peel an apple, right?]
