I only know the literal meaning too. Cut an apple, offer a piece. There is no hidden or alternative meanings here.

This is just a colloquialism - it's literal meaning is incorrect unless someone offers you a fraction of 1 apple, say. The correct phrase would be "would you like some fruit?"

Sorry, I'm not that good in English.
Isn't it similar to the expression "a piece of information", that is "one new/tip/suggestion"? I mean since "fruit" is a collective name, like "food"; so that "piece of fruit" would be just an apple or a peach or a banana and so on...
