Compounds

C1.
apple-pie bed n. a bed which, as a practical joke, has been made with one of the sheets folded back on itself, so it is impossible for a person to get into it. [The suggestion that the expression shows a folk-etymological alteration of French nappes pliées ‘folded linen’, ‘folded layers’ is unnecessary to explain the use in English, and apparently overlooks the fact that French nappe ordinarily denotes a tablecloth but not a bed-sheet.]

apple-pie order n. perfect order or neatness. [The motivation for the expression is unclear.
