That's nothing, look at pineapple.
And the first English speaker who saw one went "you know what that reminds me of, apples. Wait, hear me out, apples on a pine tree."
It's because it looks like a pinecone, which at the time were also called pineapples.
Iirc that was because apple was just a generic term for fruit at the time, not any specific type.
