A dessert dish that is similar to the pie, so what is the difference between a pie and a tart? Tarts and pies both have pastry bases, but tarts have an open top which isn't covered in pastry, even a lattice. Another, related dish is the flan, and quite often all three terms - tart, pie and flan - will be used interchangeably, even though a pie without a pastry top should properly be known as a tart.
Tarts can be sweet or savoury. This one, naturally, is a sweet dish, with it containing cherries. There are different types of cherries, and some types are much more suitable to be used as a filling in baking than other are.
