The easiest way to core an apple is to use an apple corer. If you do not have an apple corer handy, then you can do it the old school way by using a knife and spoon.

To start, you will need to insert the tip of the paring knife a few centimeters to one side of the center stem of the apple. Using the knife start cutting into the apple and rotating it around to cut out an even circle around the stem of the apple.
