Apple mountain (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fuji

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'apple' is the first definition.
(type of apple)

'mountain' is the second definition.
(I have seen 'Japanese mountain ' mean 'fuji' so perhaps 'mountain' could also mean 'fuji')

(Other definitions for fuji that I've seen before include "Japanese mount" , "Sacred volcano of Japan" , "Japanese holy mountain" , "Extinct volcano is the highest peak in Japan" , "Japan's sacred mountain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
