- HEAT oven to 350°F. Combine sugar, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon in large bowl. Add apple slices; toss to coat. Place apple mixture in unbaked pie crust. Dot filling with butter.
- ROLL out dough for top crust. Cover pie with top crust, trimming dough to 1/2-inch beyond edge. Fold edge of top crust under edge of bottom crust. Press to seal. Flute edges, as desired. Cut several small slits in top crust to vent steam. Brush top lightly with milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
- BAKE 1 hour or until filling is bubbly and crust is golden brown. Cool completely on wire rack.
