Identification based on the context of the LB: [...] selle him þonne flæsc etan lytelra wuhta, smælra fugla, gesodenra & gebrædra, & manigfeald æppelcyn, peran, æpeningas, pisan ofþænda & gesodena on ecede & on wætre & on wine wel scearpum. The meaning 'kind(s) of fruit' as provided by the DOE (2008, s.v.) seems too general in this context because æppelcyn is followed by a list of other fruit, which could have been easily included in this word.
