Food for disheartened pixies? (4)
I believe the answer is:
pies
'food' is the definition.
(pies are a type of food)
'disheartened pixies?' is the wordplay.
'disheartened' means to remove the middle letters (the middle or heart is removed).
'pixies' with its middle removed is 'PIES'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for pies that I've seen before include "Tarts" , "Dishes baked in pastry-lining" , "See 1 Across" , "food" , "Pastry-topped puddings" .)
