I’ve been cutting apples wrong my entire life. Who knew?

I’ve been cutting apples the same way my entire life, and I have no idea why. My painstaking process involves cutting them into quarters and hollowing out the core – then cutting them into eighths — don’t ask. But this new way removes the core seamlessly and also makes the apple fit together like a puzzle when you put it back together and bind it with a rubber band.

The video also shows some cute tricks for making some simple decorative slices that will add some fun to any snack.
