Abstract
Theoretically seen dividing an apple (melon, potato, etc.) equally is not an easy task. For instance, with a normal knife (straight cuts) one has to hit the center so that the cut is a great circle. But there are alternatives which have strong connections to the “pizza theorem” and Cavalieri’s Principle. The established theorem could be called “apple theorem”.
