Most apple cores contain around 5 apple seeds. However, this amount will vary based on the health of the plant. You would need to finely chew and eat about 200 apple seeds, or about 40 apple cores, to receive a fatal dose. I have a question: who even eats apple seeds?! Exactly my point! I think Rusty was trying to make a point about how too many apples can be lethal, and wanted to say something about Applejack. However, as mentioned here, you'd literally have to eat 40 apples with their seeds to get enough cyanide to kill you. If you don't eat the seeds (which I assume no one does), you could safely eat hundreds of apples without getting intoxicated.
