1. Peel apple. To remove core, push an apple corer straight through apple from stem to base.

2. If you don’t have a corer, cut peeled apple into quarters with core still in, then use a teaspoon to scoop out core from each piece, or use a sharp knife to cut core away.

3. To stop apple slices from turning brown, fill a bowl with water, tip in apples and squeeze in juice from 1 lemon. Cover with cling film until needed.
