Maiden cut into pork pies and fruit (5)
I believe the answer is:
limes
'fruit' is the definition.
'maiden cut into pork pies' is the wordplay.
'maiden' becomes 'm' (cricket abbreviation).
'cut into' indicates putting letters inside.
'pork pies' becomes 'lies' (I've seen this before).
'm' going within 'lies' is 'LIMES'.
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for limes that I've seen before include "Citrus fruits" , "Green fruit" , "boundary" , "Pieces of fruit" , "Green fruits" .)
