Well, one of the easiest way is to simply make an event with two pages.
On the first page, you get the fruit or whatever, and then you turn on Self-Switch A. The Second page has as a condition to run Self-Switch A must be ON, and it is a parallel process. All it should have in it is one or more Wait commands (depending on how long you want it to wait before the fruit grows back. 20 frames = 1 second) and then at the end, turn Self-Switch A OFF.
