I'm usually opposed to kitchen single-taskers. I use many of my kitchen utensils in multiple ways - like my ice cream scoop works wonders for removing the seeds and pulpy gunk from melons.

Likewise, I find that (after chopping the apple in half) a melon-baller works wonders for scooping out the apple core with minimal muss or waste. My 6 yr old devours apples like they're candy, but hasn't acquired the skill to eat around the seeds. But prepared per above, he'll gobble them up - peel included!

Old timer's tip: A -tiny- sprinkle of sea salt makes a freshly-cut apple twice as sweet! Unless you overdo it, you won't even notice a salty flavor, but it sure boosts all of the other flavors! (Crazy as it may sound, also try the same on melon. Amazingly good!)

I have always, as long as I can recall, consumed the entire apple, core and all, sans the stem. There's a lot of good fruit meat that's around the core. The seeds, and all, heck, that's just roughage.

My dad would eat whole oranges. I tried it, but found the bitterness of the oil in the skin to be too much.
