Morphology

baked-apple + berry

The meaning is directly compositional: 'baked-apple' (an apple that is baked or tastes like a baked apple) modifies 'berry', so the phrase denotes a berry that resembles or tastes like baked apples. Even though 'baked-apple' is not listed as a dictionary lemma, a B1 learner who knows 'baked', 'apple', and 'berry' can readily infer this plant/fruit meaning; such descriptive naming is common cross-linguistically.

Etymology

Baked-apple berry gets its name from the way the little fruit looks and tastes. The soft, golden berries smell and taste like a baked apple, so people called the plant a berry that reminds them of a 'baked apple'.
