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.

Excellent! Came together perfectly, stayed smoth and creamy even as it cooled down.Kids and grownups all loved it! Used some left over fondue mixed with shredded cheese in a grilled cheese sandwich... oh my goodness!!! So good.

I'd never made fondue before, and I was glad to find this recipe. I used 4 cups of cheese (around 1-3/4 cups of swiss and 2-1/4 cups of smoked cheddar), 1½ TBS of flour, a few good shakes of pepper. We dipped apple slices, carrot sticks, pepperoni slices (AWESOME!), and bread (the store's bakery had a big bag of dipping/appetizer-sized sliced bread pieces the PERFECT size for fondue). It was really good. My husband thought the smoked cheddar-apple juice mix was a bit sweet, but both my daughter and I really enjoyed it. Nice to find a recipe that doesn't call for processed cheese or wine! Thanks for sharing, Kim!

This was very yummy but the cornstarch made it WAY TOO THICK. I made a second batch withOUT the cornstarch and it was perfect.

This recipe was GREAT! I'm a novice in the kitchen and this fondue was simple and quick and tasted wonderful. We tried it this Thanksgiving as an alternative to serving breakfast. I used Gruyere, Gouda, and a Cheddar/Swiss combo-served with lil' smokies, french garlic bread, pears, apples, and broccoli. Everyone loved it!

OK so I just made this again for the 3rd time and wow I made it even simpler. I got a cheddar, monteray jack and asadero chees mix and used spiced cider and it was fantastic!!! my original post is below. This was a GREAT recipe! I made it for a party but had to make it the next day in a much smaller batch to try it myself because by the time I had a chance to try it the entire double batch had vanished! I served it with mini hot dogs, apple, beer bread, french bread and broccoli. A total hit I printed out the recipe at the party because it was so talked about. Super easy to make it was creamy and smooth both times. Financially reasonable unlike many recipes for cheese fondue that I found and no alcohol was involved. Highly recommended!

Turned out okay. I didn't feel that it was the best combo of flavors.

Very yummy. I used guyer cheese and swiss cheese instead. I loved that the apple juice didn't have a strong apple taste. It's a nice alternative to those who don't keep wine around the house :)

We used this recipe in our electric fondue with a couple changes. We rubbed the pot with cut garlic before adding the hard cider (home brewed). We let that boil before tossing in the cheddar/swiss mixture that was tossed with flour (rather than cornstarch) and pepper. We've used this recipe for company and for ourselves and is excellent. Use french bread that has been cut into cubes that has sat out for a half day to make it easier for dipping. Apple slices go well with this cheese as well. We'll be using this recipe regularly for fondue.

I'm giving this a four because my husband LOVED IT! He ate most of it infact. For me it was ok, but I expected something different. I think I will make it again for company and get more opinions. Update 11/2/07 - Tried this again, but replaced the cheddar cheese with Gruyeye and Emnenthaler cheese. It was delicious!! Husband and company all raved - loved the cider.

This was just brilliant! I used flour instead of cornstarch and it worked just fine. When it got a bit too thick after sitting in the fondue pot a while...I warmed some addition cider in the microwave and stirred it in just a little at a time. We used Italian bread and lil smokies to dip...was outstanding and soooo simple.

Absolutely delicious and easy! I added a pinch of kosher salt and garlic powder to bring out the flavors a bit more. Everyone loved it. It was a great inexpensive way for the kids to experience fondue.

This was very yummy, but also very thick. I added some wine to thin out the consistency since I didn't have beer on hand. Not quite as sweet this way, but everyone liked it a lot.

I thought this was great and extremely easy. I added about 3/4 cup of a wheat beer since my cheese had gotten pretty thick on me. I served it with the Easy Beer Bread Mix recipe from this site. Delicious!
