Pop round to get cheese, forgetting ‘thank you’ for fruit (7)

I believe the answer is:
apricot
'fruit' is the definition.
(type of fruit)
'pop round to get cheese forgetting thank you' is the wordplay.
'pop round' becomes 'ap' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'to get' says to put letters next to each other.
'cheese' becomes 'ricotta' (ricotta is a type of cheese).
'forgetting' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'thank you' becomes 'ta' (informal way of saying thank you).
'ricotta' with 'ta' taken away is 'ricot'.
'ap'+'ricot'='APRICOT'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for apricot that I've seen before include "I part co with the fruit" , "Fruit from a tropic" , "Soft, peach-like fruit" , "Luscious fruit" , "Juicy stone-fruit related to plum and peach" .)
