Sort apples out for a dish (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

soup plate

'dish' is the definition.
(I know that soup plate is a type of dish)

'sort apples out' is the wordplay.
'sort' indicates anagramming the letters.
'apples'+'out'='applesout'
'applesout' with letters rearranged gives 'SOUP PLATE'.

'for a' is the link.

(Other definitions for soup plate that I've seen before include "Deep dish" , "Serving dish" , "Item of crockery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
