Cheap sort of fruit (5)
I believe the answer is:
peach
'fruit' is the definition.
(type of fruit)
'cheap sort' is the wordplay.
'sort' indicates an anagram.
'cheap' is an anagram of 'PEACH'.
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for peach that I've seen before include "Stone fruit - pinkish-yellow" , "Fruit with downy skin" , "TREE" , "Sweet stone-fruit" , "Nectarine-like fruit" .)
