How Do You Core An Apple Easily?
When you are coring just one apple that is no big deal but if you are about to bake one or more apple pies you will be more than happy to get any tips on how to easily core those apples. Slit the apple through to the core, but not through the core, all the way around. Give it a twist. The core should remain intact. Insert the knife at an angle towards the center. Just push at an angle down, do not slice. If you go straight down, the core will be more difficult to pop out (and you waste that much more apple!) The exit should be just outside the core center or stem on the other side. Make six or seven vertical slices until you come around to meet the first one again. It should look somewhat like a hexagon. Turn the half over and pop out the core. Do the same for the other half.
