Sweet pies may be filled with fruit (as in an [[apple pie]]), nuts ([[pecan pie]]), [[fruit preserves]] ([[Tart|jam tart]]), brown sugar ([[sugar pie]]), sweetened vegetables ([[rhubarb pie]]), or with thicker fillings based on eggs and dairy (as in [[custard pie]] and [[cream pie]]). Savoury pies may be filled with meat (as in a [[steak pie]] or a [[Jamaican patty]]), eggs and cheese (such as [[quiche]]s or [[Flan (pie)|British flans]]) or a mixture of meat and vegetables ([[pot pie]]). Pies are defined by their [[crust (baking)|crusts]]. A ''filled'' pie (also ''single-crust'' or ''bottom-crust''), has pastry lining the baking dish, and the filling is placed on top of the pastry but left open. A ''top-crust'' pie has the filling in the bottom of the dish and is covered with a pastry or other covering before baking. A ''two-crust'' pie has the filling completely enclosed in the pastry shell. [[Shortcrust pastry]] is a typical kind of pastry used for pie crusts, but many things can be used, including [[biscuit (bread)|baking powder biscuits]], [[mashed potatoes]], and [[graham cracker crust|crumbs]]. Pies can be a variety of sizes, ranging from bite-size to those designed for multiple servings.
