What is the difference between a fruit PIE and a fruit COBBLER?

Cobbler has the crust part only on top, usually square or rectangle. Pie has pie shell under and sometimes on top and round. Cobbler topping as different than pie crust. See I’m good for something.
Pies have crust on the bottom.
Cobblers have crust or streusel on top.
Filling recipes are nearly identical.
Cobblers are often baked in rectangular pans; Pies in round.
Tarts (in snooty French cookbooks) only have a crust on the bottom.
Creme, custards, pumpkin, and sweet potato fillings are are only put in pies.

And for those with a sweet tooth but looking for some healthier alternatives, slice up a couple apples, sprinkle with cinnamon, wrap in aluminum foil, and throw on your camp fire for a few minutes. When you unwrap it’ll taste like apple pie filling but is just the natural stuff, nothing added.

NO. Unless you also put ketchup on your hotdogs.
No , but I do like colby or cheddar on apple pie.
Ketchup has two uses to me, dipping fries in and covering up the crap I hated getting made to eat as a kid.
I don’t appreciate you pushing CRT (condiment replacement theory) on this board.
Cray has been contributing really good stuff of late, but this is going to get a Mod Warning.

I grew up on blackberry cobbler, and believe me it is acceptable hot ,cold, room temp, a la mode, or doused in milk...
One of the best desserts I ever had was a baked pie crust (regular not graham cracker). Let it cool a hair than break it up in a bowl. Some scoops of vanilla ice cream on top and several strawberries sliced up on it. Amazing.I grew up on blackberry cobbler, and believe me it is acceptable hot ,cold, room temp, a la mode, or doused in milk...
. . . and while we're at it, what's the difference between sea salt and regular salt?
Hot with Ice Cream. Blackberry crisp is better.I grew up on blackberry cobbler, and believe me it is acceptable hot ,cold, room temp, a la mode, or doused in milk...
Regular salt is mined from salt domes. The salt brine is processed into table salt.
Sea salt is made from seawater… and includes a broader selection of Group I and Group II ions.
I was going to make a joke about the chemical properties of the sodium in the sea salt, but I was “Na, no one would get it.”
Seriously though, I was always under the impression that sea salt and rock salt were exactly the same except for the price. I did t know anything about ionic differences.
Tom is making it sound fancier than it really is. What he means is that sea salt has a higher concentration of other salts besides sodium chloride. So table salt is almost 100% sodium chloride, but sea salt will have higher concentrations of magnesium, calcium, etc. Chefs will tell you that this makes it taste slightly different, however, much like when they put fancy wines in cheap bottles, there's a dearth of blind experimentation to support the supposed improvement in flavor.
The minister (from Virginia) who officiated at our wedding liked cheddar cheese on his slice of apple pie (no top crust of course). So it must be a matter of taste.
Vanilla bean or French vanilla on hot apple pie for me thanks.

I was just being too lazy to fight the spell checker, and decided to be terse instead.
True story from Pie Town New Mexico.
Several years ago we were driving the back roads on our way to Phoenix. We deliberately chose a route through Pie Town New Mexico intending to enjoy the pie. As luck would have it, the owner of the local pie shop told us she is out of pie because a school bus stopped a few hours earlier and wiped her out. But she just put some fruit pies in the oven. So we waited and had a very pleasant time with the owner and a handful of fellow travelers and locals. When the pies came out of the oven she asked, “do you want the pies now as cobbler or after they cool as pie”. We wanted to get on the way so we said cobler. She took a serving spoon and scooped out a helping of “pie” for each of us and served it a la mode. We werent disappointed, best cobbler I ever ate. .

We used to have sharp cheddar on apple pie when I was a kid. Don’t see that much any more.
If you need an excuse for an office party. 3/14 can be celebrated as Pi day, with a pot luck of everyone’s favorite pie.
