Morphology

bakeapple = bake + apple (opaque) = bake + apple

Although built from the words 'bake' and 'apple', the compound names a specific berry (cloudberry) and the sense is not derivable by a B1 learner from 'bake' + 'apple'.

Etymology

Bakeapple names a northern berry called the cloudberry that grows in bogs and has yellow-orange edible fruit. A helpful way to remember it is to see bake + apple because people often baked these soft berries into pies and jams, so the name points to an edible 'apple' of the marsh.
