How to Make Applebee's Spinach-Artichoke Dip
Applebee's considers the spinach-artichoke dip one of the dishes that made it famous. Naturally, the company does not put the recipe out for the public. This copycat version does not have the same ingredients, but should produce a dip that tastes just like the real thing. Does this Spark an idea?

This is very good but it isn't really close to the Applebee's version at all. This has far too much spinach\artichoke or not enough cheese and Alfredo; the real stuff is much, much creamier. Also the taste is off somewhat though I'm not completely sure how. Either this has the wrong kind of cheeses in it or just the wrong amounts. Again, this is a good recipe and the dip is delicious, but it would never be mistaken for the Applebee's dip, not even close.
