Great pictures everyone! I cannot carry a knife at work so I end up eating the apple without cutting it up.

Well? Ain't you going to show it to Nascar?
The Safari Solo is great but I think it's a bit oversized for apples. It does well on oranges and grapefruits though.
Dedicating SAKs to specific tasks is a great way of justifying a collection. :) The downside is, I have to carry a collection. :-\

The proverb "An apple a day keeps the doctor away", addressing the health effects of the fruit, dates from 19th century Wales, according to Caroline Taggart, author of “An Apple a Day: Old-Fashioned Proverbs and Why They Still Work”. The original phrase, Taggart said, was: "Eat an apple on going to bed, and you’ll keep the doctor from earning his bread". In the 19th century and early 20th, the phrase evolved to “an apple a day, no doctor to pay” and “an apple a days sends the doctor away”, while the phrasing now commonly used was first recorded in 1922.

Try to use a Ballistol, which made from natural ingredients.

If you ask me, there's a proper Swiss Army Knight's way to eat an apple, or any other firm hearty fruit like a pear or the occasional peach, for that matter. The basic premise here is to make individual bite-sized "chips", or "shards" from the fruit, using the previously cut flat surface for the edge of the next bite-sized chip. In this manner, the fruit is carved away, one bite at a time, making successively deeper cuts... always keeping the freshly exposed flat surface as the leading edge of the next slice... and taking care to maintain a fairly consistent peel-to-flesh ratio until no more peel remains. As the cuts begin to expose the seeds, care is taken to extricate them from the fruit while successive deeper cuts are made and no consumable fruit is wasted.
Mind you, these cuts are not made against a cutting board - they're careful pull cuts made toward the thumb of the dominant hand, but before the blade makes it through the fruit, the fruit is rotated 90 to 135 degrees (sometimes as much as 150 degrees) in the same axis as the hinge of the knife such that the fruit is cut almost though-and-though without the blade making contact with the Knight's thumb. At the last moment, the morsel of fruit is secured between the blade and the thumb of the dominant hand and snapped off. Bringing it to the lips with SAK still in hand like a Knight at a feast is optional but encouraged,
When I reach the pits, I just cut through them and eat them! Pits are apples, too!Pips contain cyanide!
I just bite into them with my teeth, there's no need for a knife. :pommel:

Now, the core part of the apple (and of the process):
Get the core pointy as before.

Cut horizontally. Usually, you cut the pips in half. This was a small apple, so I got awl the pips in one cut. Eat them!
(https://forum.multitool.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=71816.0;attach=482952;image)
Keep going until you reach the stem.
(https://forum.multitool.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=71816.0;attach=482954;image)
Finish the apple and, if need be, sharpen the stem into a toothpick.
