Charoset is, in Sephardic recipes, rife with fruit fertility symbolism such as dates and figs, mentioned in Song of Songs, the biblical book that is most infused with images of love and sexuality.

Charoset is often inclusive of apples as a fertility symbol, not just in the abstract, but as a direct nod to the midrashic tradition that the Israelite women would go into the fields and seduce their husbands under the apple trees, in defiance of the Egyptian attempts to prevent reproduction by separating men and women.
