English Grammar They made sure that the house was in apple pie order before their parents.

व्याख्या:- apple pie order means in very good order; very well organized. The origin of the phrase, which is first recorded in 1780, is unclear. It may be traceable back to Old French cap a pie ‘head to foot’; it may be an alteration of French nappe pliée ‘folded cloth’ (which is where ‘apple-pie bed’ comes from); or it may simply be a reference to a literal apple pie.
