When offering fruits to Perumal, should they be offered peeled, or cut into pieces? For instance, can we offer bananas and sweet limes (Sathukudi) peeled, and apples and mangoes cut into pieces?

When offering fruits to Perumal, it is best to peel them and cut them into pieces. However, such food offerings must be consumed immediately. If that is not possible, the prasadam may spoil. Therefore, for fruits like bananas, people typically peel just the very tip before offering. Afterwards, it can be consumed as per convenience. While offering fruits peeled and cut into pieces is good, it must be done with the condition that they are consumed immediately.
