## Store description

Give this to Baldi and he won't be able to resist taking a quick break to scarf it down!

**An Apple for Baldi** is an inventory item in *Baldi's Basics Plus*.

## Description

Its sprite is a dithered realistic 3D model of a shiny, ripe, red apple.

## Usage

While having An Apple for Baldi in the inventory, when Baldi catches the player, he grabs it from their inventory. When he does this, he stops moving for 5 seconds, thanks the player, and then eats the Apple for 10 seconds before chasing the player again.

## Locations

### Main gameplay

An Apple for Baldi can be found among the leaves on one or more of the trees in the playground. The item is located higher than the player is able to jump, so they cannot initially reach it to pick it up. The only way to obtain An Apple for Baldi is to hit the apple-bearing tree using the Grappling Hook aiming at the tree trunk, causing the item to fall and allowing the player to grab it.

There is a small chance of An Apple to be found in the center of the Principal's office during the party event, the outdoor area after winning a field trip, or in the mystery room. It is also available at Johnny's Store for 250 You Thought Points.

### Challenges

* An Apple for Baldi is exclusively found in the Grapple Challenge, on a playground tree close to the weird message.

## Other appearances

* In *Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered*, it can be obtained in the debug menu after enabling Debug Mode, and works exactly fine. There are also some locations where An Apple for Baldi can be found, but its only purpose is for decoration:
	+ In Baldi's Office, after defeating Null, there is An Apple for Baldi on the desk.
	+ In the second page of promotion for *Baldi's Basics Plus*, there is An Apple for Baldi along with some items and characters.
	+ In the book cover of the MATH! book for preschool students, there is An Apple for Baldi with higher quality than item sprites.
* In *Baldi's Basics Full Game Early Demo*, there is only one Apple, which is found on one of the trees in the playground location. Its sprite looks similar as its large icon's but is slightly different.

## Trivia

### General

* Baldi liking apples is most likely inspired by the stereotype of teachers loving apples.

### *Baldi's Basics Plus*

* One of the chalkboards states that An Apple can save lives, which makes sense given the item's usage.
* This item is the most expensive item in Johnny's Store, costing 250 You Thought Points because of its usefulness as a one-time shield.
* Ironically, obtaining An Apple from a field trip does not make any sense, as it would be very strange for Baldi to give the player An Apple for Baldi, when the player can only give An Apple for Baldi back to Baldi.
* In V0.1 and V0.1.1, An Apple for Baldi on the tree looked much smaller than the current version.
* Prior to V0.3, using An Apple for Baldi while he is chasing the player in field trips made Baldi's outfit turn into normal clothes since there were no sprites of Baldi eating An Apple in camping or farming outfits.
* Prior to V0.3.3, An Apple for Baldi was absent in the random option of Endless Mode and the Grapple Challenge. Also, its position on the tree was on the leaves rather than underneath them in Endless Mode - Medium.
* While Baldi is eating his apple, there is a rare chance that an audio clip saying "run" will overlap Baldi saying "Yum!". The caption is "run", with all being lowercase.

## Glitches

### *Baldi's Basics Plus*

* In versions V0.1.2 to V0.3.1, there was a bug where An Apple did not appear in the playground in randomly-generated levels.
* In V0.3.5, An Apple for Baldi did not spawn in all apple trees.

### Demos

* In *Baldi's Basics Full Game Early Demo* and *Baldi's Basics Kickstarter Exclusive Demo*, using the BSODA on Baldi while he is eating An Apple will cause him to slide towards the player and stay close to them until he finishes eating his Apple. The player will end up getting immediately caught afterwards unless they finish the floor in time or have at least one more Apple.
