deep-dish pie
Definition
- Noun:
- A type of pie, typically sweet, where fruit filling is placed in a relatively deep dish or pan and is covered with a rich biscuit or pastry dough, usually only on top of the fruit, rather than having a bottom crust.
Usage
- Noun:
- This term specifically refers to the food item itself. It is commonly used in culinary contexts, recipes, and menus to describe this particular style of pie.
Examples
- Noun:

- The restaurant's specialty is its homemade apple deep-dish pie.
- A classic deep-dish pie, like a cobbler, often has a thick, cake-like topping.
Advanced Usage
- The term "deep-dish" in this compound noun distinguishes it from pies with a shallow filling or a full crust (top and bottom). It emphasizes the depth of the dish and the generous amount of filling.
- In some regional American English, similar desserts might be called "cobblers" or "slumps," though these can have slight variations in the topping's texture (e.g., more dumpling-like).
