So the crust doesn't count?

What's a pie recipe with filling only? Today's local daily lauds pies to the skies and says not a word about the pastry. Do these people buy theirs ready-made? Or do they in fact really make good pastry and make it with lard as they should but not want to let people in on the secret? Does the crust have sugar as it should not? What's the deal? Just wondering.
