A single pie crust is just the bottom crust on a finished pie. For instance, a French Silk or pumpkin pie is a single crust pie.A double crust is a pie that has a bottom, filling and then a top crust to cover the pie. A traditional apple or blueberry pie is a double crust. An apple pie with a crumble topping instead of that second crust on top is a single crust pie.
A single pie crust is a crust that will fill the bottom of the pie tin - or cover the pie on top - but not both. A double pie crust requires about twice as much dough, and is enough to cover both the bottom and the top.Some pies, like pumpkin, typically have only a bottom crust. Others, like apple pie and meat pies, use both a bottom and a top crust. The top crust functions like a lid on the pie, helping to contain the heat while the contents bake.
tarts only have a bottom crust, and the crust is much thicker than a pie crust.
You must bake the bottom crust as per recipe or pie crust directions before adding the pie filling.
you poke holes from the bottom and get a pie breather

The main difference between a pie and a tart is the crust. A pie typically has a bottom and top crust, while a tart usually has just a bottom crust. Pies are often deeper and have a filling that is baked inside the crust, while tarts are shallower and have a filling that is baked on top of the crust.
Well, they are nominally used to keep the bottom crust flat during the crust baking, preceding the actual pie bake.
Often people create a lattice-work top crust for apple pie. The bottom crust needs to be solid.

A pie has a pastry crust. A tartlet has a pastry bottom, no crust, and is small - commonly called a jam tart in Britain.
There are single crust pies and double crust pies. Pumpkin is always a single crust pie. Apple pies and berry pies are usually double crust pies.
