In the old west, families used to bake up to 21 pies a week. One each for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Today although they have lost some of their appeal never the less they are still enjoyed throughout the world the same way they were long long time ago. Tarts and pies have for a long time been a favourite for people on the go for their versatilty and due to the fact you can eat it and its 'wrapper' (sugar dough) together. The major difference between a tart and a pie is that pies are usually covered with either a piece of dough or completely filled with frostings and tarts are left uncovered to show off its attractive filling.
