Cut up 3 Granny Smith apples into about 4 cups.

Unwind the refrigerated pie crust and place it in the pie dish, buttering the bottom to prevent sticking.

In a bowl, mix brown sugar, a heaping spoonful of cinnamon, and flour until lumps are mostly gone.

Pour the apple slices into the pie shell and coat them with the sugar mixture.

Dot the apple filling with real butter.

Add a little milk to the pie filling.

Cover with the top crust, tucking it down and cutting slits for steam to escape.

Preheat the oven to 400°F and bake for 45 to 50 minutes.

Place a pizza pan on the rack below to catch any overflow.

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool before cutting.
