single crust
Bottom pastry only
A single crust pie has pastry on only one side—either a bottom crust with exposed filling or a top crust covering the contents.
Pumpkin pie and quiche have single crusts on the bottom; pot pies typically have single crusts on top.
The term distinguishes these from double-crust pies like apple, which enclose the filling completely.
