Distribute pies; send cooked (8)
I believe the answer is:
dispense
'distribute' is the definition.
(I know that distribute can be written as dispense)
'pies send cooked' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates anagramming the letters (letters cooked into a new form).
'pies'+'send'='piessend'
'piessend' anagrammed gives 'DISPENSE'.
(Other definitions for dispense that I've seen before include "let off?" , "Supply (prescription)" , "Deal out - needs sip (anag)" , "Deal out or distribute" , "Excuse" .)
