Best Answer

A pie is made with a pastry crust pressed into a pan or baking dish and filled with fruit, fruit mixtures, meat and vegetables, custard or pudding, and other tasty concoctions. Sometimes a second crust is used to cover the filling, sometimes strips of pastry are used to cover the filling, and sometimes the filling is left uncovered. A pie takes the shape of the pan, plate, or dish that it's baked in and is usually cut in triangles or squares to serve. A tart uses the same ingredients and method but is much smaller; it's a pie made in the size of one serving.
