Can anyone tell me about this Baltimore/Apple core rhyme from a cartoon?!
Question: I can't recall which cartoon it was, but it was a classic one. One character quickly ate an apple and held the core in his hand, saying Apple Core. The other character stopped and replied Baltimore. Then the first asks Who's your friend? and the second responds Me! So does anyone recall this? What is it in reference to, if anything?

It's a classic children's game:

Here are some cartoon references that might be what you are looking for:
The gag shows up in the Johnny Appleseed segment of the Disney film Melody Time. During the square dance sequence, the villagers sing, "Applecore? Baltimore! Bite that apple to the core!"
"Apple core" plays as a running gag in the 1952 Disney animated short Donald Applecore. In the film, Donald Duck runs an apple orchard, and is vexed by Chip and Dale, who not only steal his apples, but bait him into a game of "apple core" in which he predictably names himself as his friend.
"Apple core" was also played once in the Scooby Doo–crossover Johnny Bravo episode "Bravo Dooby-Doo", between Johnny, Shaggy, and the ghostly gardener.
