For peeling, the opinel is king.
For slicing, apples aren't much of a chore, so something with a little more length helps, but other than that they are easy peasy. I like my military for slicing them.

Swamp warden fulfills all my fruit slicing needs (more of an orange man myself).
Currently using the Spyderco Junior, previously used a Para2. With the Para2, I would cut in hand and then pop the slices off at the last bit. With the Junior, I guess because of the handle and blade shape I can't get the same setup to work, so I've changed to putting a napkin down and using a normal cutting grip to slice. This works really well with the Junior, much better than with the Para2 in the same setup. Between the blade shape, thinness, and sharpness, it practically falls through the apple with the slightest pressure.

Man I dunno - I cut lots of apples with lots of knives...
SAK works just fine, takes an atom-splitting edge and is people friendly. In my opinion though, it lacks ... mass:
BK9 is my favorite. Splits them effortlessly and is thin enough to take the cores while leaving all the yummy bits. It scores extra points for being absurdly large for the job but probably isn't workplace friendly (unless you're a professional hunter):
BK2 splits even better than the BK9 but leaves a little something to be desired when removing cores:
BK11 (or BK14 if you prefer) does a great job, looks sexy and is small enough to take to work:
Hope that helps - have a nice day.

:thumbup::thumbup: Hell yes!
The kids like their apples peeled. I use a Kyocera articulated ceramic peeler. Quartering the apple requires a blade longer than the apple diameter. I use a chef knife. The tricky part is removing the core from the quarters. A blade that will make tight turn is required. I use a Victorinox money clip (about a 1/4"X 2" blade).
