Pick flavoursome apple that's warmer (8,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

electric heater

'warmer' is the definition.
(electric heater is a kind of warmer)

'pick flavoursome apple' is the wordplay.
'pick' becomes 'elect' (I've seen this in another clue).
'flavoursome' becomes 'rich' (having a rich flavour).
'apple' becomes 'eater' (I've seen this before).
'elect'+'rich'+'eater'='ELECTRIC HEATER'

'that's' is the link.

(Other definitions for electric heater that I've seen before include "Bar fire, say" , "Household appliance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
