apple cores

Orchard snack remnants

Apple cores are the central parts of apples containing the seeds, left behind after eating the surrounding flesh.

The core is typically discarded: She tossed the apple core in the compost bin.

Figuratively rare, but the phrase sometimes appears in discussions of waste or what remains after the good part is consumed.
