02/6What is a pie?

Pie is basically a sweet or savoury dish prepared with a base crust, filling and a top crust. A pie crust is traditionally made of flour, salt, cold water and shortening. Butter can also be used as a substitute for shortening, as the goal is to make a crisp and flaky crust.The filling has a number of options from apples to strawberries and oranges to cranberries, you can pick the flavour of your choice for filling. Meat-based fillings are also used to make savoury pies. Pies are usually served in the same dish they are baked in.

Tart is a dessert which has a bottom crust and shallow sides. The crusts are made from pastry dough, which is usually made using flour, sugar, unsalted butter and ice cold water. The goal is to get a thick, firm and crumbly crust. The filling is directly added on the crust, which is later baked to make it settle down.
04/6Difference between the two
Shop Similar Look
The main difference is that pies have an upper crust while tarts don’t. While pies look covered from all sides, tarts are open from the top and you can easily see the filling on top. Another difference lies in the base. While pies have a thin and smooth crust, tarts have a rather thick and crumbly crust which crumbles down when pieces are cut from the tart. Pies are served in the same dish they are made in, while tarts are often taken out and molded, if needed. Pies are more firm because of the crust layering at the top and bottom, while tarts are more delicate.
