What makes a cobbler different from a pie?

Cobblers are made with some sort of cake batter, biscuit, or dumpling and are poured over the top of your filling.
A pie in held together with a crust. The crust can be on the top, on the bottom, up the sides or all of the above.
So the overall difference is in the presence or lack of a crust, however as in my recipe for a crustless pumpkin pie there is always an exception to the rule.

Pumpkin pie filling is also pumpkin, but it contains the spices and sugar which takes some of the steps out of adding them to your recipe.
