A native fed Timmy peeled fruit (9)
I believe the answer is:
persimmon
'fruit' is the definition.
(persimmon is a kind of fruit)
'a native fed timmy peeled' is the wordplay.
'a' becomes 'per' (eg 'one a day' means 'one per day').
'native' becomes 'son' (a 'son' of a particular place is a native of it).
'fed' means one lot of letters goes inside another (one word is 'fed' to another).
'peeled' says to take the centre (outer letters are peeled off).
The middle of 'timmy' is 'imm'.
'son' placed around 'imm' is 'simmon'.
'per'+'simmon'='PERSIMMON'
(Other definitions for persimmon that I've seen before include "Tropical fruit" , "Edible fruit" , "Orange fruit resembling a plum - miner's mop (anag)" .)
