Provided is an apparatus which simplifies the removal of an onion skin comprising a skin contacting side (1), a cutting and spreading element (2), and a lifting member (31, 32). After the cutting tip (22) of the cutting and spreading element (2) cuts into the outermost onion layer(s) at a top end of the onion and slides downwards along an outer contour of the onion towards a bottom end of the onion to create a cut along the contour of the onion, the lower lifting edge (312, 322) of the lifting member (31, 32) slots behind an inner edge of the cut outermost onion layer(s) and the lifting member (31, 32) lifts up portions of the onion layer(s) in contact therewith as it slides downwards until it passes through the bottom end of the onion, thereby allowing a user to split apart the lifted portions along the cut to remove the outermost onion layer(s) together with outer hard skin of the entire onion in one go.
