Apple corer
device for removing core and pips from an apple or other fruit
An apple corer is a device for removing the core and pips from an apple. It may also be used for similar fruits, such as pears or quince. An apple corer is often used when apples need to be kept whole—for example, when making baked apples —or when a large number of apples need to be cored and sliced, such as when preparing an apple pie or similar dessert.
Some apple corers consist of a handle with a circular cutting device at the end. When pushed through the apple, it removes the core to the diameter of the circular cutting device. The core can then be removed from the apple corer. Another type of apple corer can be placed on top of the apple and pushed through, which both cores and slices the apple. This type is also commonly referred to as an apple cutter or apple slicer.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Apple corer” as device for removing core and pips from an apple or other fruit. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as device for removing core and pips from an apple or other fruit. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 23, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q382747. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
