Roll out dough for top crust. Place onto filled pie or cut into strips creating a lattice top. Trim 1/2 inch beyond the edge and fold under bottom crust edge to seal. Crimp and flute edges. Cut slits in top crust or prick with a fork to allow steam to escape. Brush crust with milk and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
