Interesting, Ive only ever made or seen cobblers made in rectangular pans. I wonder if shape is the dividing line between people who consider them pies vs not.
Pie = short/stout circular cylinder, involves some kind of dough/bread, tends to have a crust, tends to have stuff witin the uh, semi-enclosed volume made by the bread.
Can have bread/dough on top also, but doesn’t need to.
I think that works for a chicken pot pie (apparently also shepard’s pie?), a pizza pie, an apple pie, a lemon merengue pie…
That at least seems plausible/likely to me, but, I am only me.
… maybe some very bored linguist or statistician has actually polled people on this?
yeah. I don’t know how common it is but it was the subject of some debate at the kids’ table for a few thanksgivings. I was raised on the “cobbler and pie are two distinct dishes” side of the family.
I think of it as a pie kind of the same way I think of pizza as a pie: like, it’s maybe technically a pie but it’s different enough that it merits its own name. Calling it “pie” sounds odd.
Does anyone count cobbler as pie?
I am far from well versed in baking, but my brain basically considers a cobbler a subset, or type of pies.
Grandma would make pies and cobblers with the same circular pans, same dough, same crust… so… its just a specific kind of pie to me.

That would be my guess, yeah.
