Tuck into apple: a treat! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pleat

'tuck' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'into apple a treat' is the wordplay.
'into' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'PLEAT' is hidden in the letters of 'apple a treat'.

(Other definitions for pleat that I've seen before include "Tuck" , "Gathering" , "that's tailor-made" , "Crease" , "Fold formed in fabric" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
