Is it, or would it be, possible to synthetically manufacture an apple using technology?

Or any fruit or vegetable using genetic engineering? Not the plant to grow said fruit but the actual object. Is the DNA of an apple different from that of an apple tree?
I know they have worked on In Vitro meats taking muscle cells and applying a protein that promotes tissue growth, what would a comparable action or material in plants?
