I cut it off, but that's just me.

I eat the skins - it really doesn't matter either way to me, but sometimes the skins don't digest completely and they show up later.

If I'm flaring, I cut the skins off. If I'm not flaring, I try to chew them really, really well.
I can take a long time to eat an apple!

Like songlady, I leave apple skin on and chew for a looong time.

Hate apples but just wanted to say when flaring I ate nothing raw - as doctor told me! Now I eat a little at a time and chew very well. Even in remission corn, peas, etc. come threw as they went in. I do have IBS also!

I prefer to cut the skins off (after washing them) , but I'll eat them on caramel apples every once in a while..;-) or if cooked in something.

The skins will never digest, they are good fibre especially if one has harder stools. They help to create "space" in the stool preventing too much compacting.
