I agree with Nanna that it (probaby) refers to the pot. A pipkin is a
roundish, usually pottery, pot, often with three legs to steady it over
the fire and a short, thick handle. I would guess that because it is
round in shape, it could _look_ like an apple. Didn't we determine
lately that everything that's round was called an apple of some sort?
I would think the pipkin name
transferred from the pot to the fruit at some point.
