1.) The "civilised" (aka wasteful) way: Use a knife, peel the apple and slice if off the core. Eat everything else.
2.) The horsewoman's approach: Bite off the peel and feed it to furry friend. Consume the rest yourself and then feed core to horse.
I just can't be bothered with either peel or core.

feeding bites of apples to animals

wow, your post just made me remember my guinea pig. We never properly named it. First it was pig. Then it was piglet. Then it was pigwit. Then it was wigwit.
This was 1975 so not inspired by Figwit at all!
Anyhow, we used to give Wigwit the left overs from the produce we ate. I'd eat the celery and give Wigwit the leafy end. My husband would eat carrots and give Wigwit the stem end. We ate apples and give Wigwit the core.
Well, Wigwit grew to understand that the sound of someone biting into something crunchy meant food was coming and she'd start doing her little 'wheek wheek' sound. It would start out soft then get more and more urgent as we continued to eat... since we hadn't quite gotten *our* part eaten yet. Over time, the really loud, insistent versions came as soon as she heard us crunch and we'd have to give her a bite from the get go to keep her happy.
And over more time, she realized that the sound of the refrigerator opening preceded the sound of us biting into crunchy food so she started 'wheek wheeking' any time we opened the fridge.
She also responded to us calling her name 'Wigwit'.
She was a long haired guinea pig like this one:

...but it was probably one of my daughters who first did it, maybe my youngest, she's always "experimenting" with food! 
PB and mayo? Real mayo, I hope, not the "miracle whip" stuff!

The best apples I've had were from Poland too  . My mum says however that the most glorious apple she'd ever had was from the Polish village which most of our family descend from,..... sadly that apple tree was cut down in the 90s

So as the second part of my apple experiment lunch today (the first part was eating the skin instead of peeling it), I salted it.
It was very odd because I love salt and I love apples, but had never mingled the two tastes together at one time. Rather than make it less tart though, I thought it brought the tartness out more. But I thought the saltiness overpowered the sweetness overall.
It was an interesting taste combination though. I salt a lot of things, definitely most vegetables and eggs always. And soups. Salt is a fantastic flavor enhancer for most foods.

Our apples don't come with sticks. Unless they have caramel on.
I eat the peel & all of the flesh, but leave the core.

... are quite a story of their own. We once had horses who'd recognise my car's engine. The current ponies haven't managed the engine sound quite yet, but even if I positively creep up to the barn I can't open the tack room door without a greeting. Or rather a "About time you came. I want to play on the paddock. Now!"-demand.

With some apples, the flavor is IN the skin...
[In reply to]

I happen to like "russets" of various kinds--old apples typically bred in this area, with blotchy brown skin. The russeting (brown part) is supposedly in response to yeast that gets on the skin. Anyway, in russets, all the flavor is in the skin!
But unless one is eating such apples, I don't think the skin adds much. It's fine for what it is, and I'm too lazy to take it off. But it's not for love of most skins that I eat them!

Why would I eat the core? XD
Anyway I prefer apples that is a little sweet and soft. I hate hard, sour apples. So it depends on the apple how much of it I eat too.

so that they aren't so much apples anymore,
but maybe ...
apple sauce
apple pie
baked apples
apple porridge
apple cobbler
apple muffins
etcetra: something tasty perhaps reminiscent, inspired by, and containing the essence of apples ... but not really apples ...
an abstraction of apples if you will
apples in an artistically represented form
more formal and easier to take
not quit so tart but still sweet ... and not a mention of cores and seeds and stems ... if they ever existed at all

We are the few. The proud. The core-eaters.
The poll results match up pretty well with what I've observed with other people.

I always cut up my apples. You see, back in the days of the civil war, the Alliance troops put pressure-sensitive grenades called grizwalds in our apples. Just imagine what would happen if you bit into one.
