Nut cracking apparatus including a cracking machine with first and second opposed cracking plates with pivot means for suspending one of the plates from a pivot axis substantially parallel to and spaced from the pivot axis of the other suspended plate, the suspended plates being interconnected at the bottom of each plate by a link mechanism having a release, so that the plates are suspended with the spacing between the plates at the top of the plates being greater than the spacing at the bottom of the plates, the machine having a reciprocal drive mechanism that swings the plates together to a cracking position where the plates are closer together and then to a release position where the release mechanism moves the plates apart releasing the cracked nuts; the apparatus including a nut feed mechanism for a timed feed of nuts between the plates of the cracking machine.
