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.

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.

A pie has a pastry crust. A tartlet has a pastry bottom, no crust, and is small - commonly called a jam tart in Britain.

Often people create a lattice-work top crust for apple pie. The bottom crust needs to be solid.
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.
