Spare change for fruit (5)
I believe the answer is:
pears
'fruit' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'spare change' is the wordplay.
'change' indicates anagramming the letters.
'spare' with letters rearranged gives 'PEARS'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for pears that I've seen before include "Fruit trees" , "Juicy fruits - spare them" , "Fruit - singer with ..." , "Sweet juicy fruits" .)
