Interesting, Ive only ever made or seen cobblers made in rectangular pans. I wonder if shape is the dividing line between people who consider them pies vs not.
Pie = short/stout circular cylinder, involves some kind of dough/bread, tends to have a crust, tends to have stuff witin the uh, semi-enclosed volume made by the bread.
Can have bread/dough on top also, but doesn’t need to.
I think that works for a chicken pot pie (apparently also shepard’s pie?), a pizza pie, an apple pie, a lemon merengue pie…
That at least seems plausible/likely to me, but, I am only me.
… maybe some very bored linguist or statistician has actually polled people on this?
yeah. I don’t know how common it is but it was the subject of some debate at the kids’ table for a few thanksgivings. I was raised on the “cobbler and pie are two distinct dishes” side of the family.
I think of it as a pie kind of the same way I think of pizza as a pie: like, it’s maybe technically a pie but it’s different enough that it merits its own name. Calling it “pie” sounds odd.
Fun fact: the German equivalent is with apples and pears which makes even less sense
Apples and pears both give you delicious hard ciders!
So hard, so delicious
Yes, and apples make the best non alcoholic drinks, imo
And the best pie.
Only if you don’t count peach cobbler as pie.
Does anyone count cobbler as pie?
I am far from well versed in baking, but my brain basically considers a cobbler a subset, or type of pies.
Grandma would make pies and cobblers with the same circular pans, same dough, same crust… so… its just a specific kind of pie to me.

That would be my guess, yeah.

Love apples, hate pears, can’t eat both because they give me diarrhea :(
I disagree with you, but I respect the moxie of comparing apples and oranges and apples and pears.
