Why dont you join on the FruitName to get a table with old and new FruitId's? Considering information would be added at the same time.... it may not be the best option but you wont be using any cycles.

INSERT INTO BASKET(BASKETNAME)
VALUES ('COPY BASKET')

DECLARE @iBasketId int
SET @iBasketId = @@SCOPE_IDENTITY;


insert into Fruit (BasketId, FruitName)
select @iBasketId, FruitName
from Fruit 
where BasketId = @originalBasket

declare @tabFruit table (originalFruitId int, newFruitId int)

insert into @tabFruit (originalFruitId, newFruitId)
select o.FruitId, n.FruitId
from (SELECT FruitId, FruitName from Fruit where BasketId = @originalBasket) as o
join (SELECT FruitId, FruitName from Fruit where BasketId = @newBasket) as n
    on o.FruitName = n.FruitName


insert into Property (FruitId, PropertyText)
select NewFruitId, PropertyText
from Fruit f join @tabFruit t on t.originalFruitId = f.FruitId
