Apple

This article is about the uncraftable food item. For the rarer, more beneficial food item, see Golden Apple.

Template:Food Apples are food items which fill Template:Iconbar/hunger

units of the hunger bar.

Obtaining apples

There are three (more like two) sources of apples (excluding Creative Mode):

• They may be found in chests in strongholds or NPC villages or bonus chests.
• Killing Notch in multiplayer will drop an apple in addition to his inventory, but other than this, no mobs drop apples. But does Notch play Better Than Wolves? That's the real question.
• As of BTW Version 4.60, Oak leaves no longer have a chance of dropping an apple.
• Trading with villagers.
• Also any other types of trees do not drop apples

As a crafting ingredient

An apple can be used to craft a golden apple or an enchanted golden apple. These recipes don't work on Minecraft Pocket Edition.
