Apple

Apples are food items which fill units of the hunger bar.

Obtaining apples
There are four 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.
 * Oak leaves have 0.5% (1/200) chance of dropping an apple.
 * Trading with villagers.
 * Also any other types of trees do not drop apples
 * Apples can also be combined with sugar and an egg, to craft an apple pie.

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.

Pros

 * Apples are a renewable resource and can be harvested alongside wood.
 * While the player is harvesting wood, they receive apples with next to no added effort.
 * Apples can be used as a crafting ingredient to make golden apples.
 * Apples can be a good source of food when a player first starts in a new world, as it doesn't consume time planting seeds or killing mobs.

Cons

 * Apples restore only four hunger.
 * Players will become hungry again quickly compared to eating bread or meat due to a low saturation value.
 * Apples take more effort to farm than other foods, and should generally be considered a by-product of wood harvesting.
 * Apples can be an unreliable food source, as even large trees may occasionally drop no apples.

Trivia

 * The sprite of red apples was the same as used in Notch's game Legend of the Chambered.
 * In Minecraft Pocket Edition the sprite of the apple still has the dark outline. There is also higher chance of drops from leaves.
 * An Apple is dropped by Notch when he is killed.
