  Right now no, Gamesalad is so far a 2D engine but you can make your game seem 3 dimensional using 2D images and some animation.

  You can use 3D images rendered out to .png's. In order to animate them you would need a series of images in a progressive state in each image, and then animate the images within GameSalad.

  Yep, like @SlickZero say, the best approach would be to animate some rotating fruit outside of GameSalad then import these as an image sequence.
  
  Here's a quick example:

  Thanks. What software do you use to create the image?

  Any currently available 3D software will be able to construct simple geometric shapes like this.

  Any particular that you recommend? Maya or 3ds? Btw, the "fruit" looks yummy.

  Those are really expensive softwares, unless you got infinite money I suggest you go with something like blender

  I've only ever used a couple of 3D applications (LightWave & C4D), so can't really comment on which on is the best out of the numerous applications out there, I only use C4D because that's what I learnt, but if we are talking rotating bananas and apples then even the most rudimentary 3D software will be more than powerful enough to do the job.
  
  Like @LyboTech says, Blender is very good - and it's free.

  Btw, the "fruit" looks yummy.

  That's the rare polyfruit.
