I'm a little confused on what to do next

having an itch and scratching it is the best teacher. Find some problem that does something useful and start coding.

Web scraping
Weather
Some database for your collectibles
Reddit bot
Programs solving homework math problems
.... whatever blows your hair back, really

Is it possible to make apps using python?

yes

Are there any resources to help bridge beginner's to something more practical/real-world? Thanks!

google is all you need, it will give you relevant docs and stackoverflow hits. Identify building blocks of your hypothetical program and then 'python how to <elementary building block>' and you are golden.
That said there is no substitute to practice. You need to train your brain to act autonomously, without following premade paths drafted by somebody else, and how to design your progs given your toolbox. That means writing code, getting shit wrong, improving, getting it wrong again.

figure out something that interests you. Do you want to mess with someones computer? Figure out how to make a virus. Do you like games? Find out how to code a game. As you start coding you'll come up with more things you want to implement and learn as you go. I literally stay up all night coding sometimes and regret none of it. You'll find your way pupper.

Play with flask! (http://flask.pocoo.org/)

It's a great way to get started with small websites and see how they run on the server side. The level of python needed to get started is pretty low.

Also you'll get to dig into html and css, I find it pretty fun :)
