An apple is a healthy and dietary fruit, which requires removal of the core to prepare some dishes. This takes quite a long time. But housewives have found a way out of this situation and use a number of devices to remove the core of apples with their own hands.
Apples are used in any national cuisine. These fruits are included in a variety of sections of cooking - from preparations to meat dishes.
It is necessary to take into account that these fruits are quite difficult to prepare - you should carefully remove the petiole, stalk, remove the peel in a thin spiral, and then cut out the central part. To simplify this time-consuming task, you can acquire special devices for removing the core from apples.
They will help make the procedure easy and quickly prepare the fruit for the table or for drying.
Remove the core with a ski pole
To prepare apple preserves, you need to remove the seed chamber. This can be done even without cutting the fruit into pieces, leaving it whole. To do this you will need an aluminum ski pole with a diameter of 15 mm.
Cut off a part of the pipe 15 cm long. One of the ends is filed with a triangular file to make six sharp teeth. On the other side of the stick, insert a plastic champagne cork and use a knife to make a hole in the end of its upper part into which a rod is inserted to remove the seed box.
During the process, the fruit is placed on a kitchen board, a device is placed on top of the stalk and pressed by hand. When the fruit has an uneven surface, cut it while holding it in your hand.
After processing 2-3 fruits with a rod made of metal or wood, the waste is pushed out of the device, which allows you to keep the fruit intact. This is how you can quickly remove the core.
Cutting out the core using a syringe with your own hands
The simplest device for removing the core from apples can be made with your own hands from a medical syringe. It can be used to peel fruits for both drying and canning.
To do this, use a 20 ml syringe with a piston, as well as a sharp knife and good scissors.. We trim the cut with scissors and remove all the graduated paint from the surface of the syringe. Then, using a knife, carefully cut small teeth at the end of the cylindrical wall of the syringe. They need to be made so that during the working process, the movement coincides with the scrolling of the homemade product clockwise. That's it, the core cutting device is ready!
To remove the core of an apple with this device, press the serrated side of the syringe onto the fruit from one side along the longitudinal axis around which the seeds are located in the fruit, rotating the syringe clockwise. While scrolling, you need to deepen the device into the fruit to its middle. Repeat the same action on the other side of the fetus. After the process is completed, the core is pushed out of the syringe with a piston.
This device, made with your own hands from available materials, is quite effective and convenient to use.
For smooth and easy removal of the seed box, it is better to make the cloves as small as possible.
Using a special knife
A simple but useful device - a device for removing apple seed boxes. Essentially a puncher. They drive it into the apple and take it out along with the seed box. Perfect for feeding children and sick people.
Such a device easily fits into fruit of any size and, if necessary, can be rotated around the longitudinal axis. The seed box comes off easily and is pulled out along with the blade. After this device, the walls of the fruit remain smooth and without rags.
Peeling and slicing device
The process of peeling and slicing can be simplified with a special machine. This device quickly peels and cores the fruit and cuts it into neat pieces. And this is not the only thing
This device will help save the housewife’s time. To remove the core, simply place the fruit on the special blades and then turn the handle. The seed box will remain on the blade of the device, and the seedless fruit with a neat hole will remain in your hands.
Application of apple slicer
This device is very practical. With its help, you can divide the fruit into 8 equal parts, immediately removing the core.
Take an apple and a device. On a cutting board, place the apple slicer on the fruit so that the tail is in the center of the apple slicer and press all the way. The result is a separated core and identical slices of apples.
Now you know all the ways to remove the core from an apple. To prepare apples, each housewife selects a device for herself. This device can be made at home, or purchased in a store. The main thing is that they perform the same function.

Cleansing properties of apples
Apples are a wonderful remedy for the treatment and prevention of many diseases, which is a gift from nature itself. And in our area this is its most accessible and popular fruit.
Cleansing the body with apples is possible due to the unique composition of this product. Apples contain a lot of special fiber, including jelly-like pectin. This substance is called a natural cleanser for its ability to remove harmful compounds from the body. Once in the intestines, pectin swells greatly and adsorbs all harmful substances, which include:
- excess cholesterol;
- heavy metal salts;
- pathogenic microorganisms and their metabolic products;
- radioactive elements;

In addition, pectin helps improve digestion and normalizes metabolism without disturbing the intestinal microflora at all. By stimulating the intestinal walls, the fiber and pectin contained in apples help eliminate constipation.
It must be said that the amount of pectin and fiber may vary slightly depending on the variety of apples, the conditions and duration of their storage, as well as the region where the apple trees grow.
Since ancient times, apples have been considered a symbol of youth, good health and vitality.
