Full Definition of APPLE-PIE BED: a bed in which as a joke the sheets are doubled like the cover of an apple turnover to prevent anyone from stretching at full length between them

Thank you all, Mamyalynne I am in Belfast, where it is a lovely day ~ the sun is shinning and there is a gentle breeze.
