Question:

What is the difference between a tart and a pie?

You can marry a tart>:)


Answers: Yeah, you can marry a tart and have all that hassle. But if you've ever watched "American Pie" you know you can get the benefits of the tart with the pie without the hassle.

A tart is made with a crust formed in a tart pan or a low, straight-walled pan with a removable bottom. A pie, similar to a tart, is baked in a pie pan that has sloping sides. Both a tart and a pie can have the crust prebaked and filled or baked with fruits, custards or chocolate. Source(s):

A pie is something you eat. a tart is more promiscuous. i know someone who looks like he married a pie though! Hey, I married a pork pie hello!! a tart is supposed to be sweet and cake like. where as a pie is not always going to be sweet as you can eat pie with meats etc. depends really what pie or tart you eat. if thats any help. and i suppose if you wanted to marry a tart you could!!! ha ha A tart doesn't have a pastry top, a pie does! A tart has the infilling exposed. A pie has the infilling enclosed. A pie has a pastry top and bottom. A tart has no top. Tart has no lid Pie has a lid. a tart is open a pie is closed Is this a joke? because if so, people are taking it too seriously.
And Pies don't always have tops.
Pumpkin Pie, Custard Pie, Cheesecake (which is not really cake it's pie), Pudding Pie... There are allot without top crusts.
But there is some difference other than the top crust... I just don't care enough to learn it.

~J A tart doesn't keep a lid on it! Size, tarts are individual or single servings You date the tart and you eat the pie. :)
