Apple

The Apple is a basic food item found in RUST. You can loot it from both food crates and ration boxes. An Apple provides minimal calories, hydration, and a small amount of health points to a player when consumed. In addition to providing direct use, Apples are also a reagent in the RUST Cooking System, currently required in 1 recipe.

While Apples provide a fairly moderate calorie payout for what they are, they cannot be found or purchased. They were also given the capacity to give Rideable Horses a 1-minute buff that increases their speed by approximately 9km while under the effect.

If you don’t want to eat the apple, you can put it in a player-made Composter to produce a small amount of Fertilizer.

However, the amount of Fertilizer one Apple produces is insignificant compared to other items, making the Apple ideal for immediate consumption.

If you have a horse, you can feed it an Apple so that it begins to produce Horse Dung, which provides a great deal more Fertilizer than in the composter.
