19 Applebee's Copycats You Can Make At Home

We stopped visiting our local Applebee’s when the kids got too old for the kids meals, but it would get expensive pretty quickly. So, I love to make Applebee’s Copycats at home!

Occasionally we would visit our quaint and cozy Neighborhood Grill for half price appetizers, but we just couldn’t justify the cost for a bunch of adult meals plus appetizers during normal hours. You’ll love these simple easy recipes!

Because we all liked the same things, I started making our favorites at home in large batches. Below you will find our favorite 19 Applebee’s Copycat Recipes. Try one (or two) and let me know which is your favorite.

1- These Potstickers promise to be easier and yummier than you could get at your local Applebee’s.
