I guess the answer they are going for is slice the apples straight through, horizontally, 1/3 the way up from the bottom, so you have 2/3, 1/3, 2/3, and 1/3 apple portions. Then you give 1 person the 2 1/3 portions, and the other 2 get one of the 2/3 portions each.
But we all know the actual answer people are thinking of
You can cut them just like they are on the table - lop off the outer 1/3 of both the two as they sit. Two people each get 2/3 of an apple including the core, and one person gets two 1/3 apple slices.
But yes, it wants you to suggest killing one of the kids for sure. :)
Although I now see it too, I assure you with absolute sincerity that I really was trying to create an overhead view of two apples being sliced with one stroke.

But that wouldn’t be one stroke would it? Unless I’m imagining it wrong.
Please forgive my crude approximation of an overhead view of the apples and knife.😁
Edited to add the stem area of the apples for greater clarity.
You have a lovely pair of… apples

Of course you were 😉
LOL I know further assurances will just look even worse so I’ll stop here. 😂
