Gather in more apricots (4)

I believe the answer is:

reap

'gather' is the definition.
(reaping is a kind of gathering)

'in more apricots' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'REAP' is hidden in the letters of 'more apricots'.

(Other definitions for reap that I've seen before include "Save harvest, glean" , "Cut the corn" , "Derive as a reward" , "'As you sow, so shall you . . . .'" , "''As you sow, so you . . . .'' (4)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
