Did you know? The "DUTCHMAN_FRUIT_DILEMMA_06" event does not trigger if you pick the "gardener" perk at the start of the game, though it does come with its own difficulties.

If you mash jump against the rock across from the stall you can build enough momentum that the dutchman's ai loses track of you once you slip free. Then you can simply crouch and steal the fruit from under his left elbow without drawing aggro.
