5 McDonald's Copycat Recipes
Skip the drive-thru, and dig into these homemade McDonald's recipes.
You might have fond memories of going to McDonald's as a kid. In middle school, my mom would sometimes take my brother and me to get vanilla ice cream at McDonald's after track practice. It was such a nice treat!
Or maybe you don't need fond memories of McDonald's because you still enjoy going there. That's great, too! Either way, I think you'll be excited to see our delicious list of McDonald's copycat recipes. Whether you've had these fast food favorites recently, or want a blast from the past, there's something to love on this list.
One of the best things about making restaurant recipes at home is that you can control the ingredients. Wish the fried apple pies had a little more cinnamon flavor? Add more spice! It's totally up to you. Another cool thing is that you can make these items all year long. Sometimes you just need a Shamrock Shake in July (we understand). We can help with that.
