A Woman Peeling Apples (c. 1663) is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Pieter de Hooch.

It is a genre painting showing a quiet domestic scene from the time, like most of de Hooch's works.

The elaborate fireplace and fur and embroidery in the mother's clothes show a prosperous household, and the cupid between the two figures implies a happy one.

Its sensitive handling of light—in particular, natural light filtered into an otherwise unlit interior space—led 19th-century art historians to attribute it to Johannes Vermeer, with whose work the painting does bear strong similarities.

She wears a black velvet jacket trimmed with fur, a red skirt, and a white apron.

She holds out a long rind in her right hand to a little girl standing to the left and seen in profile.

The fireplace is lined with Delft tiles, and is enclosed with pilasters worked in low relief.
