A cooking apple is a fruit primarily used as an ingredient in Cooking. They are required for crafting apple pies, summer pies, and cider.

Cooking apples can be purchased from the shops, harvested from apple trees, or found at the Cooks' Guild. An apple tree grown from an apple tree seed in a fruit tree patch, requiring level 27 Farming. Up to six cooking apples can be harvested from an apple tree at a time.

Cooking apples can be stored in a basket. Up to five cooking apples can be stored in the basket to form a basket of apples (5), and players can store cooking apples within multiple baskets. The basket of apples can be used in the Farming to pay farmers to watch planted trees. One basket is needed to watch willows and strawberries, while four baskets are needed to watch a banana tree.
