A new and distinct Malus domestica Borkh apple tree variety named ‘MILLY’, particularly characterized by its medium-strong vigor and early and constant production. Fructification is precocious, and the productivity is high. The fruits have medium to big size, are slightly asymmetric, with an attractive red-purple color on 50-60% of the surface. The flesh is crispy, juicy and firm and has a mild flavor. The taste is very good and the aroma is mild, slightly acid to sweet, with a good sugar content with balanced acidity level. Good tendency to long term storage.
