So only the core of the apple is the true apple?

If you want another example, say a bread roll. If you eat a bread roll, is it still a bread roll or does it become part of 'I'?

It's a mass of particles the whole time. It's a bread roll when it plays the causal role, or set of such roles, which we term a bread roll. It's "I" when it plays the causal role we term "I".
