Fruit-filled desserts are a popular type of dessert that can be found in many cultures. Pies and tarts are two of the most common types of fruit-filled desserts. Pies are typically made with a pastry crust and filled with a variety of fruits, while tarts are usually made with a shortcrust pastry and filled with a sweetened fruit mixture. Both pies and tarts can be served either hot or cold and are often topped with cream or ice cream.
