Nutty pie in my view best example (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

epitome

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

'nutty pie in my view' is the wordplay.
'nutty' indicates an anagram.
'in my view' becomes 'to me'.
'pie' with letters rearranged gives 'epi'.
'epi'+'tome'='EPITOME'

(Other definitions for epitome that I've seen before include "ie Tempo (anag.)" , "Digest" , "Perfect example of a quality" , "Exemplar - embodiment" , "Paradigm" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
