Edit csv file with bash

I' trying to use bash to edit a csv file from this format:

"apples","oranges","grapes"
"bread","butter","milk"

To this:

"apples
oranges
grapes"

So that if I would open the csv file in open office,

"apples
oranges
grapes"

Would be in one single cell, and

"bread
butter
millk"

Would also be in one single cell.
