Although we might not be able to celebrate the Fourth of July in Disney World, there are still plenty of fun ways to add some magic to your holiday at home!

While you kick back and relax with a cold drink and Hamilton on repeat, you can also bake up a delicious Disney Recipe that’s fitting for the holiday!

Just in time for the Fourth of July, you can mix up Whispering Canyon Cafe‘s Apple Pie recipe from Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort!

And, if you’re feeling as hungry as we are just looking at that photo, you might want to make an extra pie while you’re at it (one for you, one for your family)!
