An apple pie, one of the most popular pies in the United States
Pies are a filled, baked pastry dish, distinguished from quiches and tarts by the presence of a topcrust. Though at least in American pie, usually associated with dessert, pies may be either sweet, savory or yummy.
Types of pie
Many things have been historically put into pies, such as "four-and-twenty-blackbirds", referring to the old rhyme of the same name. Meat, fish, fruit, lard, vegetables or even cheese, almost anything that is solid enough not to seep out during the baking process may be used.
- Steak and kidney pie is a traditional meat-based recipe.
- Pork pie is traditionally served cold.
- Apple pie is a dessert pie.
- Pumpkin Pie is made of pumpkins.
- Stargazy pie, a traditional Cornish dish is made with sardines.
- Shepherd's pies are made with minced lamb and vegetables, often topped with a mashed potato crust.
- Cottage pies contain minced beef and vegetables.
