There are tons of pies with no top. Pumpkin pie, key lime pie, chess pie, Dutch apple pie (a crumble), etc.

Notably, all American 'pies', except the one that even you say is a crumble (a crumble is not a pie).

That Kendall Mint Cake stuff is designed to appeal to climbers who've entered the so-called Death Zone above 23,000 ft of elevation. They lose all their appetite up there and must force themselves to eat anything, just to prevent catastrophic weight loss and weakness. It is almost pure sugar, with a shot of mint extract to make it a bit more palatable.

xpost A crumble topping, not a crumble, which is more or less the same here as a crisp (which of course elsewhere means a potato chip). But then we're going down the rabbit hole of nomenclature and slang. Regardless, just because other countries have fewer pies than we do does not make our other pies any less pie!

it raises concerns that ye'll call any old fuckin thing a pie which is relevant

Crumble has, well, crumble on top. But a pie is baked in a shell, top or no top.

A pie is a sweet or savory dish with a crust and a filling. The sides of a pie dish or pan are sloped. It can have a just a bottom, just a top, or both a bottom and a top crust. A pie crust is traditionally made of flour, salt, cold water, and lard (or shortening) but many pie crust recipes use a combination of fats such as butter, lard, or vegetable shortening, or just butter. The goal is a crisp, flaky crust. Pies are served straight from the dish in which they were baked.A tart is a sweet or savory dish with shallow sides and only a bottom crust. Tart crusts are usually made from pastry dough: traditionally flour, unsalted butter, cold water, and sometimes sugar. The goal is a firm, crumbly crust. Tarts are baked in a pan with a removable bottom, or in pastry ring on top of a baking sheet so that it can be unmolded before serving.

They call them "cousins," along with galettes.

I think the only thing we can all agree on is that, no, Boston cream pie is not pie.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 21 December 2016 22:12 (seven years ago) link
The Dutch Apple Pie does look like a pie! It has the bottom bit and the crumble makes a kind of lid, so it's more pie-like to me than tart type things.
The 'kitchn' link pretty much firms up the true definition, but I still maintain the average (British) person would expect both top and bottom crusts on something claiming to be a pie. Meaning is use and all that.

There's no argument that pie is more versatile and pretty fantastic. But cake is CAKE.
