Hey there, fellow Traveler! As someone who's been exploring Teyvat for years now, I can tell you that sometimes it's the simplest resources that make the biggest difference in our adventures. Take the humble apple, for instance. It might seem like just another common fruit you pick up while running around, but let me assure you, it's a cornerstone item in Genshin Impact. As of 2026, with the game world having expanded so much, knowing your way around these basic resources is more important than ever. From keeping your party healthy in a pinch to completing special event requests, the apple is a true MVP. I've gathered all my knowledge from countless hours of gameplay to give you the ultimate, up-to-date guide on everything apple-related.

Where to Find Apples in Teyvat

You'd think apples are everywhere, right? Well, they are, but some spots are definitely more fruitful than others. My go-to region for a quick apple run is always Mondstadt. The rolling hills and temperate climate there are just perfect for them. I love starting my search around Wolvendom. The trees along the paths leading into the wolf territory are often laden with them. Another fantastic spot is the area surrounding the Dawn Winery. The vineyards and orchards there aren't just for grapes, you know! You'll find apples hanging from trees or sometimes just lying on the ground, waiting to be picked up.

Now, if you find yourself in Liyue, don't worry, the apple hunt is still on. The scenery changes, but the bounty remains. One of my absolute favorite places is Qingce Village. It's so peaceful, and the apple trees near the western Teleport Waypoint are incredibly reliable. What's great is that these spots refresh daily, so you can make it part of your routine login rewards. For those days when you're feeling a bit lazy or just really pressed for time, there's always Bolai, the merchant in Liyue Harbor. He sells apples for 240 Mora each. It's a bit pricey for a common fruit, but his stock refreshes every three days, and you can buy up to 10 at a time. It's a perfect backup plan.

The Ultimate Apple Farming Routes 🍎

Over the years, I've optimized my gathering routes to save time and maximize yield. If you're serious about building up a stockpile, here are the paths I swear by.

The Starfell Valley Sprint (Mondstadt):

This is, hands down, the most efficient route in the game for bulk apple farming. Start at the Statue of The Seven in Starfell Lake. From there, head northwest along the main path. You'll pass clusters of apple trees that are almost always full. I can easily collect 15-20 apples in a single, uninterrupted loop here. It's especially crucial to know this route for events.

The Qingce Village Quick-Grab (Liyue):

This is my daily driver. Teleport to the waypoint on the western side of Qingce Village. Immediately to your south, you'll see a small gathering of trees and some stone statues.

There are usually 4-5 apples ripe for picking right there. It takes less than a minute, and since it resets every day, it's a fantastic way to slowly build your reserves without any dedicated farming time.

To help you plan, here's a quick comparison of the two main farming methods:

Location Apples Per Run Reset Time Best For
Starfell Valley 15-20 48 hours (World Resource) Bulk farming, event prep
Qingce Village 4-5 24 hours Daily login collection
Bolai Merchant Up to 10 72 hours (Shop) Emergency supply

Why Apples Matter: Events & Crafting

Alright, so you've got a bag full of apples. Now what? Well, let me tell you, they are far more valuable than their 300 HP healing effect suggests.

First and foremost, the Marvelous Merchandise event. If you've been playing for a while, you know that quirky merchant Liben and his mysterious boxes. He has a notorious request on the fifth day of the event where he asks for 10 apples. Every single time. I've seen so many players scramble at the last minute because they didn't save up! Don't be that Traveler. Knowing the farming routes above means you can fulfill his request instantly and claim those precious Primogems and Mora without any stress.

Beyond events, apples are a key ingredient in some fantastic and useful dishes. As a bit of a virtual chef myself, I use them all the time. Here’s my personal recipe book highlight reel for apples:

  • Satisfying Salad 🥗: This is a great early-game recipe. You just need:

    • 2 Cabbage

    • 2 Apple

    • 1 Bird Egg

    • 1 Potato

    It restores a nice chunk of HP to your whole party.

  • Northern Apple Stew (A Mondstadt Specialty): This hearty dish is perfect for your main DPS characters.

    • 3 Raw Meat

    • 3 Apple

    • 1 Butter

    • 1 Pepper

    It boosts their attack power significantly.

  • Der Weisheit Letzter Schluss (Life) 🧪: A special Mondstadt drink that's surprisingly useful.

    • 2 Cabbage

    • 2 Apple

    • 1 Bird Egg

    It revives a character and restores a solid amount of HP.

  • Boudin Noir aux Pommes (A Fontaine Delicacy): With the addition of Fontaine, this recipe became a new favorite for defensive boosts.

    • 2 Apple

    • 1 Raw Meat

    • 1 Butter

Pro-Tips & Extra Goodies

A few more nuggets of wisdom from my travels:

  • Don't Underestimate the Heal: In the open world, when you're just exploring and take a bit of damage from a hilichurl arrow, popping a single apple to restore 300 HP can save you from using a more valuable Sweet Madame or a healing skill. It's all about resource management!

  • Check Every Tree: While some trees are obvious apple trees, sometimes other deciduous trees in Mondstadt and Liyue can surprise you with an apple or two. Get into the habit of checking clusters of trees, not just the obvious ones.

  • The Angel's Share Treat: After a long day of adventuring, I love heading to Angel's Share in Mondstadt city. Did you know they serve a special Apple Cider? It's not a craftable item; you can only get it there by purchasing it from Charles. It's a fun little role-play element that makes the world feel alive.

  • Future-Proofing: With new regions like Natlan and Snezhnaya still on the horizon as of 2026, who knows what new apple trees or recipes we'll discover? The basic principles in this guide will always apply: learn the efficient routes, stock up for events, and experiment with cooking!

So there you have it! The humble apple is a small but mighty part of your Genshin Impact journey. By knowing where to find them and how to use them, you'll make your life in Teyvat smoother, more efficient, and definitely more delicious. Now get out there and start farming! Happy exploring, Traveler! 🌟
