Top of dried fruit marked with spots (6)
I believe the answer is:
dapple
'marked with spots' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'top of dried fruit' is the wordplay.
'top of' suggests taking the first letters.
'fruit' becomes 'apple' (apple is a kind of fruit).
The initial letter of 'dried' is 'd'.
'd'+'apple'='DAPPLE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dapple that I've seen before include "Spotted" , "spot" , "Mark(ed) with spots" , "Mark with spots or patches" , "Patch of colour or light" .)
