Turn again, another quarter rotation, and repeat. As always, avoid the stem and the core.
Finally, cut off the last little piece of apple, disposing of the core.

Notes

Storage:

If you want to cut apples ahead of time and store them for later use, you have a few options. Our favorite method is to toss the slices in freshly squeezed lemon juice before placing them in an airtight container, or sealable bag, in the fridge. Cut apples should last about 3-5 days in your refrigerator when stored using this method.
