Is "He picked an apple into the basket" correct?

Does "He picked an apple and put it into the basket." mean the same as "He picked an apple into the basket"?

Or is "He picked an apple into the basket" just grammatically wrong?

Thank you very much.

    Your first option is the correct one. 

    The second one should read:

    He put an apple in the basket.
