The wrinkled store apples Pippin eats with Beregond?

Now, for the other line, I stretch the possible meaning of 'half-baked' a bit ... can you think, though, where an impertinent request concerning apples might have been made?

Ohhh, good one! The Dwarves impertinently asked Bilbo for apple pie (tart? cake? other baked good?) among other foodstries. But knowing Bilbo's cooking to be very high quality, not sure why it would be half-baked.

Correct again. One of the dwarves asks for raspberry jam and apple tart. I stretched 'half-baked' because a tart has pastry only around the edge and at the bottom (sort of half as much as a pie has, which has a pastry top as well).
Mith guessed it was apples and two of the three examples, so I guess it's over to her?

Since I somehow managed to solve the password at the same time, I have done a quick and easy (at least from my POV) old school riddle for you to chew over while I set that:
My first is in battle but not in fight My second in strength but not in might My third is in wasp but not in bees My fourth not in wood but trees My last is in night but not in day My all is that I am just what I say!
