ABSTRACT:
An apple corer having four molded plastic components are fitted together to form the invention. They are a hollow cutting tube, a core remover slidable along the cutting tube, a handle attached at the end of the cutting tube, and a compression plug inserted at the same end for locking the handle in place. The tip of the cutting tube has serrated teeth for smooth boring into the apple. In operation, the handle is oscillated while applying pressure to it. This causes the cutting tube to bore through the apple. The tube is removed from the apple and the resulting core left in the tube is ejected by sliding the core remover towards the tip of the cutter. The corer can also be used for partial removal of the apple core when stuffed apples are desired. In this situation prongs are attached to the end of the core remover. The cutter is bored partially into the apple, the core remover is slid against the face of the apple causing the prongs to impale the apple and hold the core in place. The apple is twisted which causes the core to shear off at the tip of the cutter. The partial core in then removed as before.
