Deploy .Net Core Console App to Raspberry PI and Remote Debug

Question

I've written a basic console app in C# using .Net Core 1.1 and Visual Studio 2017 Community. The app runs fine on my machine and am ready to deploy it to a Raspberry Pi 3 running Windows 10 IoT v.10.0.15063.0, which is running on the same network and visible in the IoT Dashboard.

Is my only viable option to re-write my app as a UWP Background App (this raises a whole host of other questions), or is there a way I can deploy and debug my .Net core app?
