Nutty pie given to me is good example (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

epitome

'is good example' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'nutty pie given to me' is the wordplay.
'nutty' indicates an anagram.
'given' says to put letters next to each other.
'pie' is an anagram of 'epi'.
'epi'+'to'+'me'='EPITOME'

(Other definitions for epitome that I've seen before include "Perfect example of a quality" , "Archetype, typical example" , "ie Tempo (anag.)" , "Something embodying perfectly a stated quality or idea" , "Digest" .)
