Apples are food items that rarely drop from leaves and can be eaten by the player or crafted into golden apples.

Obtaining

Block loot

Oak and dark oak leaves have a 0.5% (1⁄200) chance of dropping an apple when decayed or broken, but not if burned. Breaking leaves with a tool enchanted with the Fortune enchantment increases the chances of dropping an apple: 0.556% (1⁄180) with Fortune I, 0.625% (1⁄160) with Fortune II, and 0.833% (1⁄120) with Fortune III.

Usage

To eat an apple, press and hold use while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores 4 (🍗🍗) hunger and 2.4 saturation.

Unlike most foods, apples can be eaten with a full hunger bar in Bedrock Edition.[1]

Apples can be used to heal, grow, and increase temper of horses, donkeys, and mules. In Java Edition, due to a bug, skeleton horses (in their hostile state; being ridden by skeletons) can also be fed apples.[2]
