~Answer~:

The whole apple, because the skin contains fiber.

~Explanation~:

To really reap the benefits of fiber in apples, you must eat the whole apple – skin (or apple peel) and all. That's because apples are particularly high in pectin, a type of soluble fiber. While pectin is found in both the skin and the flesh of an apple, its highest concentrations reside in the skin

Hope this is useful to you!! :))
