REVIEW: New Ginger-Apple Funnel Cake at Sleepy Hollow for Disney Very Merriest After Hours in the Magic Kingdom

For many, it’s not quite the holidays without a warm slice of apple pie or the taste of gingerbread. Luckily, Sleepy Hollow in the Magic Kingdom is offering a twist on the classics during Disney Very Merriest After Hours, featuring the stand’s signature item, funnel cake.

The full-sized funnel cake is topped with apple pie filling, vanilla ice cream, caramel drizzle, and, of course, powdered sugar.

The funnel cake on its own doesn’t taste much like gingerbread, aside from a faint hint of it on the back end of each bite. It delivers its signature fried crunch perfectly, though.

The apple pie filling tastes fresh, still having some firmness to the apples instead of having turned to mush like some fillings can do.

The vanilla ice cream is your standard vanilla bean flavor, but pairs perfectly with both funnel cake and apple pie.

All-in-all, the ingredients work pretty well together, giving you the core elements of apple pie in a fresh and well-prepared package. We do wish we had gotten more of the gingerbread taste, though.
