Many recipes, especially desserts, require fruit such as Apple. However, nobody in Rigbarth sells Apples and it’s never given as a request reward.
So, where on not-earth do you find one?
How to get Apples
Apples grow on Apple Trees in Phoros Woodlands. More specifically, it’s on the region’s southwest area. Do you know that field with the Buffamoos? Just walk past them and up the hill that leads to a dead end. The Apple tree is on that incline.
To grab the Apples, simply stand next to the tree and press A. The tree bears new fruit every morning.
Apples can also be grown in farms, though you can’t do this until you’ve received the Foresight Crest. Livia rewards the Foresight Crest during a SEED Rank level up. You can level up your SEED Rank by Capturing Wanted Monsters. After you've subjugated all three-star Wanted Monsters, you should receive the Foresight Crest.
Once you have the Foresight Crest, occasionally visit these two locations:
The lone tree stump in Phoros Woodlands
The tall vine tree in the Kelve Volcanic Region
The seed won’t be visible without the Foresight Crest. And even with the crest equipped, the ground won’t sparkle. Move near the location to see if there’s a seed. The type of fruit seed you get is random and the area won’t spawn one every day. But if you get lucky, it’s one for an Apple Tree!
You can also invite a townsfolk on an adventure with you and they should be able to tell if there’s a seed in the two locations or not.
