TL;DR

Yes, but it's safer to split the fruit between checked luggage and carry-on in small amounts — security sometimes makes travelers move fruit from carry-on into checked bags.

What the community said

A small amount of fruit can be split between checked luggage and a backpack, reducing the risk of having it all rejected at once. A plush toy like a capybara can usually be carried along with the backpack as an extra carry-on item.

Travelers consider several packing strategies for fruit: only in checked luggage, only in carry-on, both combined, or adding an extra basket/bag on top of that.

There have been cases where airport security asked travelers to move fruit from carry-on into checked luggage — the outcome isn't guaranteed and depends on the specific check.
