Which dessert listed under sweets is a pie?

• A. Lemon Bars
• B. Twin Peaks Sundae
• C. Mini Apple Turnovers
• D. Bourbon Pecan Pie

Answer: (D)

Understanding what makes a pie helps distinguish it from other sweets. A pie is typically built on a pastry crust with a filling that bakes in a dish and is served in slices. Bourbon Pecan Pie matches this pattern: it uses a pastry crust and a pecan-filled, often bourbon-flavored filling that bakes in a pie pan, keeping the classic pie form. The other options differ in form: Lemon Bars are bars with a lemon topping on a shortbread-like base; Twin Peaks Sundae is a cold ice-cream dessert with toppings; Mini Apple Turnovers are individual folded pastries with filling, not a pie. So Bourbon Pecan Pie is the one that is a pie.
