Title: Difference Between Cobbler and Pie and Cool Facts
Post by: Ptarmigan on July 03, 2012, 02:08:49 PM: We've all had a peach cobbler, apple pie, or chocolate mousse pie. Savoring it. Okay, what is the difference between cobbler and pie. Wonder what is the difference and history of it.

Cobbler-No bottom crust. Origin is likely in British American colonies. Brown Betty is a cobbler.
Pie-Bottom crust. The origin of pie can be traced to 9,500 BC in present day Egypt. This is even before the Pyramids were built. Boston cream pie is not a pie, but a cake. It is likely called a pie because of the way it is cut. Pies are cut in wedges, while cakes can either be cut into wedges or squares.

Both cobbler and pies can be made into square.

The word pizza comes from the Greek word pita, which means "pie". Pizza is a pie. Pies do not always have top crust, like chocolate mousse pie.

I have seen more round cakes than I have seen square pies. Almost every cobbler I have seen has been in a cake pan.

Good question about cheesecake. I guess a cross between cake and pie. More of a cake I guess.
