Question : how do I remove double quotes from a string

Hi all,
   How do I remove double quotes from a string?
Example: I have a string "apple" in a list and I want to replace it with apple but not try to remove the leading and trailing " because I might get strings that might not have quotes. So in essence I want to remove quotes if they are present.

Thanks,
