Density. It depends how dense the fruit is and how much water there is. Suppose you had a 1" by 2" aquarium full of water, and you dropped an apple in it. The apple would float, because it would be less dense then the water.

A fruit will float or sink in water based on its density. Fruits with higher density than water will sink, while those with lower density will float. This is because objects with lower density displace an amount of water equal to their weight, allowing them to float.
