[Sca-cooks] tarts vs. pies, a bit of help

[Micheal]

Greetings
 For me your number 1. is a pastry or turnover.
 Now number 2 could be a tart or in some cases a pie.
 Number 3 is a pie.
 Most of us think of tarts as mini pies but the term tartlet is more 
properly the  name. Such things as Apple tart, Mince tarts, Butter tarts , 
and so on. For anything around 3 " in diameter or smaller they may or may 
not have a cover.
 Tarts tend to be low , 1" in high and without pastry covers.   Pies tend to 
be 2-3" in high and some have covers and some do not. Depth seems to be the 
only solid difference. Pardon the pun.
