{{see also|Tutorials/Hunger management|title1=Hunger management}}

To eat a golden apple, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. It restores {{hunger|4}} points of hunger and 9.6 hunger [[saturation]].

The golden apple provides: 
*[[Absorption]] I for 2 minutes (providing {{hp|4|absorption=1}} points of absorption health)
*[[Regeneration]] II ({{hp|1}} every 25 ticks, {{hp|2|notag=1}} × 0.4 per second) for 5 seconds (long enough to heal {{hp|4}} points of damage)

=== Curing zombie villagers ===
{{main|Zombie Villager#Curing}}

A golden apple and a [[potion of weakness]] can be used to convert a [[zombie villager]] into a regular [[villager]].

=== Horses ===
Golden apples can be used to improve the chances of taming a [[horse]] by 10%, for [[breeding]] [[horses]] and for speeding up the growth of baby horses by 4 minutes.
===Piglins===
{{EntityLink|Piglin|Piglins}} are attracted to golden apples. They run toward any golden apples on the ground, and inspect it for 6 to 8 seconds before putting it in their inventory. However, piglins do not eat golden apples (or any [[food]]).
