The provided video excerpt demonstrates using an apple corer tool to remove the core from an apple. Here's a breakdown of how to use an apple core and other ways apple cores can be used:
Using an Apple Corer Tool:
The video describes the following process:
- Position the Corer: Place the apple corer tool directly over the stem of the apple, centering it.
- Push Down: Apply firm, even pressure to push the corer through the entire apple, from the stem end to the blossom end.
- Remove the Core: Once the corer has passed all the way through, carefully pull it out. The entire core, including the seeds, should come out in one piece.
Alternative Uses for Apple Cores:
While the video focuses on removing the core, apple cores can also be used in several ways:
- Making Apple Stock: Apple cores can be added to vegetable scraps to make a flavorful vegetable or fruit stock.
- Infusing Drinks: Add apple cores to water or tea for a subtle apple flavor.
- Composting: Apple cores are biodegradable and can be composted.
- Making Apple Cider Vinegar: Apple cores, along with apple scraps, sugar and water can be fermented to make Apple Cider Vinegar.
- Seed Saving: If you're growing apples from seed, you can save the seeds from the core for planting.
- Snacks: While the core is tough, the fruit attached is edible.
