I would give this 0 stars. It was awful and tasted awful. I followed the directions carefully and it still turned out all chunky.

I made this for a halloween party and it was a huge success. The vegitarians there were so happy to see it. Nothing survived for the next day. I used a bottle of hard apple cider and cheap cheddar cheese. Next time I will get a better quality cheddar and I'm sure it will be even better! I'm making this again in the near future. It is a great fall dish!

My Girl Scout troop this. They liked it the slight sweetness of the apple juice. Personally, however, I prefer wine and more complex cheeses.

This is so good! Great balance of cheese & cider flavors. I used sharp cheddar & my guests were putting this on everything. I served it with soft pretzels & apples, but we also put it on meat & pierogies. I might make it with hard cider next time for a new twist.

very tasty.. just as i'd expected. i love the slight sweetness of the apple cider that evens out the saltiness of the cheese perfectly. YUM!

it was just "ok". Had trouble getting it smooth, and the taste was somewhat bland. I'll stick to my Melting Pot copycat recipe.

We followed the recipe to the letter and it never quite got smooth. It was our first try at fondue, but I think we'll go with a different recipe next time. Not a very strong flavor.

This was our first venture into fondue and everyone liked it. It tasted great. We used hard cider and substituted Meunster for the Swiss because no one here likes Swiss. We added a little fresh lemon juice when it got a wee but clumpy. We'd make this again it was fun and easy.

Very easy to make and tastes wonderful. My husband and 5 year old love it. I use one and a quarter apple cider which makes the cheese less thick. I add garlic powder and a dash of crushed red pepper for extra flavor. French bread and broccoli and sliced green apple are our favorite dippers. I also prefer flour over corn starch. Difinitly a must try for any fondue lover.

This was fantastic! I made it exactly as the recipe said. My 10 year old daughter had a slumber party and this was what I made for dinner. All the girls loved it! We dipped garlic bread, homemade chicken nuggets, pepperoni, corn chips, broccoli, caulifower and apples.

Followed the recipe exactly as written. Found it was extremely stringy and too..cheesy? Not what I was looking for.

I made 2 fondues, and this was the real hit at the party. The flavor of this fondue was really good, but the texture had lumps of swiss cheese that did not properly melt. It might have been the type of swiss I used (baby swiss, because aged swiss was not available). I will definitely try this recipe again because the flavor was so good, and try to work out the texture problem.

We use this recipe on a regular basis. The mixture tastes great and is much cheaper than most. I do add a little garlic powder, use flour instead of cornstarch and hard apple cider instead of regular. The green apple is best. I serve this recipe with bread, mushrooms, celery, and italian seasoned chicken cubes. They're great to mix and match like kabobs too! Oh Yeah, I also add a little bit of garlic powder to my mix.

I haven't had fondue in probably close to 15 years, and my husband has never had it. I found it appealing because I had both cheeses in the fridge already. I served this with steak done in a balsamic vinegar and red wine sauce (and cubed homemade French bread) and it was absolutely fantastic! I did alter the recipe just a bit - instead of cider, I used non-alcoholic Alpine Spice wine. It is made by a Pennsylvania winery and is a blend of Chardonnay, Johannisberg Riesling and 'spices.' I figured this would be safe after reading that some folks had used white wine, and others had used spiced cider....this wine falls between the two. I used flour in place of the corn starch - cubed the cheese and put it in a tupperware with flour and pepper and tossed it to coat the cheese. I also crushed a small clove of garlic into the cheese mixture. An absolutely fantastic recipe. Will definitely make again!

Loved it! Giving it five stars even tho I modified b/c this recipe gave me a solid base. Rubbed the inside of the fondue pot w/ garlic before cooking, subbed beer for cider, and tossed the cheese w/ flour instead of corn starch.

This fondue was tasty. My husband and I did a "fondue night." I decided to make this fondue instead of some of the others since it would be less expensive. I rubbed the pot with garlic and then used Hornsby in place of regular cider. I served it with sliced smoked sausage, broccoli, asparagus, mushrooms, carrots, french bread, apples and pears. All were good with it except the mushrooms, carrots, and pears. I also used flour instead of corn starch. I would definitely make this again and might even try experimenting with beer instead of cider or try using different cheeses. There were two of us eating it as dinner and we still had half left. We were so full afterward, we never got around to making the chocolate fondue we planned on making!

WOW! I have always made my cheese fondue with wine. I decided to make this one because we had several little kids eating with us on New Year's Eve (along with many adults). People RAVED about this. It was fantastic. We ended up quickly making another batch after everyone devoured what we had made. I took someone's tip and served bread cubes and pepperoni and everyone loved that. Yum!
