The Silent Hill 2 Remake Golden Apple is a short mini puzzle in Wood Side apartments that feels like it's going to be important but actually does very little in the grand scheme of things. You won't know that, though, when you first find it so don't get too excited. This won't take long so let me explain what the Golden Apple does in SH2.
Where to use the Silent Hill 2 Golden Apple
You'll find the Silent Hill 2 Golden Apple when you open a wardrobe in room 108 of Wood Side apartments, not long after finding the Silent Hill 2 chute courtyard key. Aside from the wedding dress inside the wardrobe, there's not much to it at this point once you have the fruit in your inventory.
However, don't worry too much about using it for anything fancy as there's no great puzzle here - it's just a glorified key you'll offload when you reach room 208, on the floor above.
You'll eventually find a similar wardrobe, where you can place the apple to access the Silent Hill 2 Wood Side safe, where you'll get the old man coin for the SH2 Coin Machine puzzle. So it is very much a critical path thing, as you have to use the fruit to get any further. But, in the long run, it's just nothing more fancy than a weird looking key.
