A fresh apple can restore some Hit Points, without irradiating the consumer. It is one of the few edible food items that doesn't give you any radiation, besides other fresh fruits or vegetables, and food found in a non-compromised vault.
Locations[]
Fresh apples, as with most other fresh items, are mostly found in Rivet City Science Lab. There is a total of four apples there.
One can be found in the ladies' room of Arlington Library, at the base of the garbage can.
Notes[]
Fresh apples and other fresh vegetables available in the Rivet City Science Lab are the direct result of the current Rivet City science project. There is a random bit of speech that may be told to the player from Janice Kaplinski that explains that they are the result of the work that is being undertaken in the lab.
The scientists at Rivet City have a large stock of fresh fruit and vegetables, and will say, "Be careful, that stuff is worth more than you" or "Don't touch the vegetables, they're fragile."
If dropped on the ground in Rivet City, some of the scientists will pick them up.
If you stand around long enough, Janice Kaplinski will eat the ones in the lab.
