Not exactly, they are close cousins though, along with their more rustic cousin the galette. A pie is a sweet or savory dish baked in a dish with sloped sides, with the crust coming above the rim. It can have only a bottom, or a top, or both a top and bottom. A tart is baked in a shallow dish, with typically only a bottom crust, sometimes pressing up the sides. But for this recipe, they are the same thing.
