oh.... you must mean pie muffin :p

A muffin is not a pie and therefor has no place here.

au contraire!!!! there such a thing as a pie muffin, it still has the word pie in it.

If it looks like a muffin, but its called a pie, it must be a pie!

From Wikipedia

A pie is a baked dish with a pastry shell that covers or completely contains a filling of meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, cheeses, creams, chocolate, custards, nuts, or other sweet or savoury ingredient. Pies can be either 'one-crust', where the filling is placed in a dish and covered with a pastry top before baking, or 'two-crust', with the filling completely enclosed in the pastry shell. Some pies have only a bottom crust, generally if they have a sweet filling that does not require cooking. These bottom-crust-only pies may be known as tarts or tartlets. One example of a savoury bottom-crust-only pie is a quiche. Tarte Tatin is a one-crust fruit pie that is served upside down, with the crust underneath.

Blind-baking is used to develop a crust's crispiness, and help it from getting soggy under the burden of a very liquidy filling. If the crust of the pie requires much more cooking than the chosen filling, it may also be blind-baked before the filling is added and then only briefly cooked or refrigerated.

Pie fillings range in size from tiny bitesize party pies or small tartlets, to single-serve pies (e.g. cornish pasty) and larger pies baked in a dish and eaten by the slice. The type of pasty used is matched to the filling, but it is generally either a butter-rich flaky or puff pastry, a sturdy shortcrust pastry, or, in the case of savoury pies, a hot water crust pastry.

Sweet pies are often served with a scoop of ice cream, in a style known as à la mode.

Small pies are a popular form of takeaway food in Australia (and New Zealand), with the most widespread brand being Four'n'twenty. Many bakeries and specialty stores sell gourmet pies for the most discriminating customer. A peculiarity of Adelaide cuisine is the Pie floater.

Pies with fillings such as such as steak and kidney, mince and onion, or chicken and mushroom are popular in the UK as takeaway snacks. They are also served with chips as an alternative to fish and chips at British chip shops

Like dumplings, many cultures have independently discovered pies as a useful and delicious way to utilize otherwise useless ingredients left over in the household.

Pies are favorite props for humor, particularly when aimed at the pompous. For example, on October 22, 2004, ascerbic conservative columnist Ann Coulter was "pied" at a speech given to University of Arizona Young Republicans by a daring pair of political pranksters, Phillip Edgar Smith and William Zachary Wolff, both 24 years of age. The pair choose cream pies as their instruments of humiliation, and to match Coulter's pale skin tone

"Hair Pie" (line from some John Hughs movie.)

mmmnnnn... mudhoney

Thats not pie

My favorite is Key Lime Pie, but only true Key Lime Pie. The kind you can only get when you use true Key Limes. Also, not that custardy Key Lime, but the more dense thicker type Key Lime Pie.

What about a "Tart"? It's kinda a pie. One of the market's down here make it and it's fricken awesome. It's a Fruit Tart, pie crust (it must be a pie if it's made with a P-I-E crust, No?) filled with custard and then topped with strawberries, peach, kiwi, bananas, red rasberries and blueberries. And oh yeah, real whipping cream.

rhubarb.

none of that strawberry/rhubarb BS. the rhubarb is not to be polluted like that. keep it straight up rhubarb.

I'm no peach pie!
