Delicious! I made this for a fondue party with my girlfriends and everyone loved it! So much so that it was almost the star of the show (can't compete with chocolate covered strawberries, of course)! I did, however, have to keep adding cider or milk to keep the consistency manageable from time to time. Will definitely be making this one again! Thank you!

My hubby and I really liked this recipe. He loves cider so I knew that he wouldn't mind the slightly sweet taste. The texture came out very creamy and smooth. I served two kinds of bread, steamed veggies, and little smokey sausages with the fondue. The smokeys were the best, the combo of the salty smokey sausage with the slightly sweet cheese was wonderful! Thanks for a great wine free recipe!

Great change-up from the traditional swiss/white wine fondue I've grown accustomed to. My husband liked it too!

Definitely quick and easy. Maybe I'm just not a fan on fondue. I did add a little garlic, but generally it was just bland.

This is pretty good, and really simple to make. I made it in the microwave. I heated the apple juice in a glass measuring dish until it boiled, and then added all the other ingredients and stirred. Cooked at medium power and stirred every 30 seconds, until the cheese melted. Then transferred to my slow cooker.

Great fondue! We also rubbed the pot with cut garlic. I loved the apple cubes even better than the baguette with it which surprised me.

This is a quick easy fondue dish to make that is good with both bread and fruit.

I was really excited about my first time making fondue but this recipe completely flopped for us. The cheese and juice wouldn't combine no matter how much I stirred! I tried turning up the heat a little, adding lemon juice... nothing. We had a glob of stringy cheese surrounded by cheesy apple juice. Yuck!

With just a little dash of garlic salt and replacing the Swiss cheese with Swiss Emmental, this was a huge hit! I had to double the recipe to allow for 6 people to eat continuously. Otherwise, it's only enough for 3. Serve this with Granny Apple slices and grapes in addition to the French bread. All is delicious in the fondue!

Not what I expected, but not bad. Mine didn't come out creamy - it was stringy. Didn't coat the vegetables or bread at all - slid right off of everything. I followed the recipe exactly, with the exception of adding 1/4 tsp. garlic powder. My son is happy with the results - though I am not sure that I would make it again.

very tasty - nice change - used french & sourdough bread cubes for dipping as well as honey crisp apples - nice combination. I would say that the recipe, as stated, will NOT feed 10 as a meal.

This had a great flavor and was a nice alternative to cheese fondue with wine. Other reviewers have said they used baby carrots to dip, and no one I was with liked them with the cheese. Apples and crusty bread cubes were great.

This was great! I used half apple juice, half white wine for the liquids. I used a mini crockpot and just microwaved the liquids and cheeses together in the crock part for a couple of minutes, then moved it to the heating unit on high and stirred every now and then until it was smooth. Super easy and really yummy!

Easy and Delicious Recipe for Fondue. Affordable - cheddar and swiss are not as expensive as some of the other cheese fondue recipes that call for gouda etc. My Changes - which worked fine if not better: 1. Used flour instead of cornstarch 2. Added garlic powder 3. Had extra apple juice/cider on hand that I added whenever the cheese became clumpy. I probably added another 1 cup full throughout the dinner. However, definately warm it up in the microwave before adding or else it cools the cheese. If anything it enhanced the flavors of the cheese 4. Worked well in an electric fondue pot

First attempt at making fondue and I was pleased with the results! We used a nice brown ale instead of the cider and I think it gave the fondue a WONDERFUL flavor! Used Kraft 2% cheddar and a nice gouda instead of the swiss - it was just delicious served with cubes of herb bread and apple wedges.
