Remove Default Apps with Configurator 2
Here you get options to disable iTunes Store, News, Podcast, etc but at the bottom of this window is where you can name specific apps to restrict.

If you change “Allow All Apps” to “Do Not Allow Some Apps” you can then tap the + button to add apps you don’t require.

Just search for the specific app and select choose.

Once you have added the apps you wish to restrict just close this window and you will be prompted to save the profile.
