I recently started to translate a book about alchemy and I've come across this term (that only appears once). I have been looking for any kind of reference for hours and haven't been able to find anything. I just wanted to try my luck.
«This is the Mons Philosophorum, the Vineyard of Sages, the metallic Mountain, the very best concentrated Mineral, the metallic Water, the sea or the chaos of the Sages, the tree with the three branches, the three-headed Dragon, the Cerberus infernalis triceps, the highest double Saturnus, the ***goldrich Crossapple***, our Antimon, our Crucifer, Arbor vitae cognitionis boni et mali, the little irrational World, our Microcosm».
Thanx in advance for any thoughts.

La manzana de la cruz con sus frutos de oro
The only thing that comes to mind is a reference to “las manzanas de las Hespérides” and a reference to some Rosicrucian symbology...

I am guessing all the way, but the above link may give you some inspiration.
Besides the “physical” aspect of alchemy, needs to be understood as a metaphor of transforming the “material and chaotic physical universe” into the “gold of the spirit”... (My 2 cents)
