Fruits baked to a crisp (8)
I believe the answer is:
apricots
'fruits' is the definition.
(apricot is a kind of fruit)
'baked to a crisp' is the wordplay.
'baked' indicates an anagram.
'to'+'a'+'crisp'='toacrisp'
'toacrisp' with letters rearranged gives 'APRICOTS'.
(Other definitions for apricots that I've seen before include "Orange fruit" , "Rio pacts about the fruits" , "Capri sot makes the fruit" , "trees" , "Rio pacts produce the fruit" .)
