Pie nut (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pecan

'pie nut' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for pecan that I've seen before include "Walnut-like nut" , "Something like a walnut" , "US nut tree" , "Nutty type" , "Nut with sweet oily kernel" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, The Star Tribune, The New York Times and the Universal.
