"I think he will carry this island home in his pocket and give it his son for an ____” (The Tempest) (5)

I believe the answer is:

apple

(Other definitions for apple that I've seen before include "One a day keeps the doctor away" , "Fruit that's Big in the US" , "Fruit with pips" , "Cooker possibly" , "Fruit with firm white flesh" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
