There's nothing like biting into a sweet, crispy apple on a nice sunny day. Apples are healthy, portable, and go well with other foods like cheese, peanut butter and crackers.

The only problem with apples is the core. Even careful apple eaters are left with some amount of wasted core. A lucky apple core might get tossed in the compost bin, but most are just thrown in the trash. Either way it's a waste of edible food.

But eat an apple like this, and you can say goodbye to wasted food and hello to a whole new apple-eating experience.

Down with side-to-side eaters, up with bottom-to-top eaters!
