Crossword Genius

One slice each (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apiece

'each' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'one slice' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'a' (a thing is one thing).
'slice' becomes 'piece' (synonyms).
'a'+'piece'='APIECE'

(Other definitions for apiece that I've seen before include "For or by each one of group" , "Per person" , "for everyone" , "A head" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
