I don't core apples either. There is a couple schools of thought and most say that they're toxic but 1) it's at a level too low to be dangerous to humans and 2) the juicer won't juice the seeds enough anyway. I'm of that school of thought so I just throw them in hole if they fit. If they don't I cut them in half and while I'm doing that I'll pop out seeds that I can see. We have one of those apple cutting dohickys but I don't both with that because a lot of the apple is wasted when you core. I'm leaning towards the cucumber because those can be better sometimes w/o warning. I do peel lemons, oranges and limes as well to avoid that bitter rind messing with the flavor. Search google and you'll find tons of recipes.
