Having just started eating lots of apples lately I have been wondering about this.

I always wash that part really well. I put it under the running water and scratch at it with my fingernail.

In reality its just from the stem. That's where the seeds are. So the stem grows long and sprouts seeds, and the flesh of the fruit grows out from there. Thats why it's puckered at the top and bottom.

Pears don't, a pears knob top could fit in an apple's butt pit.
