Filling removed from pie tin? (5)
I believe the answer is:
pecan
'filling removed' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'pie tin?' is the wordplay.
'pie' becomes 'pe' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'tin?' becomes 'can' ('can' can be a synonym of 'tin').
'pe'+'can'='PECAN'
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pecan that I've seen before include "US nut tree" , "Oval nut of south central United States" , "Smooth pinkish-brown nut, nice in pie" , "Nutty type" , "Nut tree of the southern United States and Mexico" .)
