I'm not sure what the best answer is honestly, but I do admit that a few older puzzles are open-ended.
Unfortunately, I just realized that I had redone this puzzle sheet last year and have never uploaded the new copy. Try it now - it has 3 additional challenges.

Thanks for uploading a revision with extra puzzles :)
The second one is trivial if you only use bana and blueberry, and not much trickier including strawberries.
The fourth one is an interesting mix - and on par with the first, I think. My "best" for the first is 12 pieces of fruit. I'd like to see if anyone comes up with better.

I have an answer, but do not know if it is the best.
