Apple in villager trading
Apple is something you buy from villagers rather than sell to them; it does not appear as a raw-material trade, so trading is one of the few survival-friendly ways to stock up on it.
Apple is a prepared food item. Trading for it is often quicker than assembling the ingredients, especially for a steady supply. No recipe in Java 26.2 produces it: it comes out of dark oak leaves and oak leaves, 0.5% of the time, 2.5% with Fortune III.

The 1 trade on this item was read out of the trade files Minecraft Java 26.2 ships in its own data, checked on against the item, both amounts and the use limit. Bedrock 1.26.30.5 is read as well, and where it disagrees the row says how. Which files, and what is not checked.
Your odds of finding Apple
A villager only shows part of its trade table, so knowing who trades apple is not the same as getting it. The friendliest roll here is the farmer (apprentice): 67% of them carry it, so it takes about 1.5 of them on average before one does.
| Villager | Tier | Villagers with this offer | Rolls to see it | Most from one villager | After a cure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Farmer | Apprentice | 67% (2 in 3)Bedrock 50% (1 in 2) | about 1.5 | 128 apple a day32 uses, 2 restocks a day | no change |
The chance is the draw size over the pool size in the game's own trade set file for that tier. The Bedrock line under it is the same sum on Bedrock's own table, which splits a tier into groups and draws out of each one separately, so the two editions often disagree. The day figure is the trade's use limit times the 2 restocks a villager is allowed per in-game day (Villager.allowedToRestock), so it is a ceiling and not an average: it assumes you are there for every restock. Counted from the game's own draw sizes. How that check works.
Who trades Apple, and at what price
To buy Apple, visit a Farmer at the Apprentice tier (1 emerald, 4 per trade).
Is trading Apple worth it?
Apple sells for as little as 1 emerald for 4 at a time, from the Farmer at the Apprentice tier, and nothing else on the list costs less. The price is fixed rather than rolled, so a second Farmer will quote you exactly the same.

What 1 emerald costs in goods
The Farmer at its apprentice tier asks 1 emerald for 4 apples. 8 of the 72 villagers that pay emeralds, emptied out:
| A full slot of | To | Emeralds | Buys |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 acacia boats | master Fisherman | 12 | 48 apples |
| 48 iron ingots | apprentice Toolsmith | 12 | 48 apples |
| 64 raw rabbit | novice Butcher | 16 | 64 apples |
| 120 sweet berries | master Butcher | 12 | 48 apples |
| 192 any dye | apprentice Shepherd | 16 | 64 apples |
| 256 andesite | journeyman Mason | 16 | 64 apples |
| 288 gray wool | novice Shepherd | 16 | 64 apples |
| 312 flint | apprentice Leatherworker | 12 | 48 apples |
an acacia boat against 26 flint for the same 1 emerald, 26 times the carrying, and the shortest wait is the Butcher at 37.5 real seconds of shelf, gathering not counted.
How Apple trading works
Every apple offer here locks after 16 uses, and a villager restocks up to twice per Minecraft day, so one is good for 32 of these trades a day and no more.
The earliest apple shows up is the Farmer's Apprentice tier, level 2 of five, which a villager reaches at 10 trade experience. A freshly employed one is 1 tier short of offering apple at all.
How long Apple takes in real time
64 apples empty one slot at the Farmer, 2400 ticks (Villager.allowedToRestock) at 20 a second (TickRateManager) refill it 2 real minutes later, and the 24000-tick villager day (Timelines) holds 2 of those fills in 20 real minutes.
So one farmer moves 128 apples against 32 emeralds a Minecraft day, 4 apples every 37.5 real seconds, 1.6 emeralds a real minute. 64 apples fit inside one of those slots, refill untouched.
Tips for trading Apple
- Clearing the shelf: the Farmer hands over 4 apples a trade and the slot runs 16 times, so 64 apples for 16 emeralds before it has to restock.
- Where the emeralds come from: the same Farmer pays an emerald per 6 pumpkins.
- Also on the Farmer's list: melon, cookie, cake, suspicious stew, golden carrot, glistering melon slice.
