Golden Apple at a glance
Food holds Golden Apple: a food item out of crafting, Dungeon chest loot, Mineshaft chest loot, and Ruined Portal chest loot. Stack Golden Apple 64 high: 576 across a hotbar, 1728 in a shulker box, and 3456 in a double chest. 2 drumsticks back per Golden Apple: 4 hunger points and 9.6 saturation.
4 hunger back per Golden Apple keeps natural regeneration running, and the 9.6 saturation behind it is what buys you the time until the next meal, rather longer than the hunger number on its own suggests. Every igloo basement chest contains one, and 11 other kinds of generated chest can hold it as well. Golden Apple sits between Enchanted Golden Apple and Golden Carrot in Food, number 18 of 37 there.

Eating
5 helpings clear an empty hunger bar, at 1.6 seconds each, which is 8 seconds before Golden Apple has done the job. Every hunger point Golden Apple gives back carries 2.4 saturation with it, which is what decides how long you stay full. That is 8 of 37 on saturation, between Enchanted Golden Apple at 9.6 and Beetroot Soup at 7.2. A full bar is no obstacle here, because Golden Apple can be eaten at any point. Eating Golden Apple also hands you Regeneration II for 5 seconds and Absorption for two minutes.
Notes
Grants Absorption II (2:00) and Regeneration II (0:05). Essential for PvP and boss fights.
