English word for non-vegetable fruits

Is there an English word or phrase that describes the category of fruits that are not vegetables, i.e., that are sweet and mostly used as dessert? For example, apples and berries should be included, but tomatoes and bell peppers not.

In German, this is called Obst, in Spanish it is fruta. This article describes the difference to the English word fruit quite well. But I did not find any statement if there is or has been an English word for it.
