Categories     Main Course

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup apple cider
1/2 pound Fontina cheese (grated)
1/2 pound Gruyere cheese (grated)
2 tbsp cornstarch (divided)
tofu
crusty bread
broccoli
sliced apples
Baby potatoes

Steps:

  • In a pot bring the apple cider to a simmer and then turn the heat to medium
  • Toss the Fontina cheese with one tbsp of the cornstarch and toss the grated Gruyere with the remaining tbsp of cornstarch.
  • Add the Fontina cheese gradually to the warm apple cider whisking as you do. Don't add any more until the last cheese has melted, it'll still be stringy.
  • Once all of the Fontina has been added begin adding the grated Gruyere in stages.
  • Keep whisking until the cheese has melted and the fondue becomes thick and less stringy, but more like a cheese sauce.
  • You can serve the fondue in another container or just keep it in the pot that it was cooked in.
  • If the cheese fondue begins to thicken too much after it's been away from the heat, place it back on the heat and add about 1/4-1/2 cup heavy cream or milk and stir over the heat for a few minutes until the consistency becomes thinner.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples. Granny Smith apples are a good choice for apple cider fondue because they are tart and hold their shape well. You can also use other tart apples, such as Braeburn, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady.
  • Use fresh apple cider. Fresh apple cider will give your fondue the best flavor. If you can't find fresh apple cider, you can use store-bought apple cider, but be sure to choose one that is unsweetened and unfiltered.
  • Simmer the apple cider and spices. This will help to infuse the apple cider with flavor. Be sure to simmer the apple cider over low heat so that it doesn't burn.
  • Add the cheese slowly. This will help to prevent the cheese from curdling. Add the cheese a little at a time, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and smooth.
  • Serve the fondue with a variety of dippers. Some good options include apple slices, pear slices, grapes, strawberries, and pretzels.

Conclusion:

Apple cider fondue is a delicious and easy dessert that is perfect for fall gatherings. It is a great way to use up fresh apples and apple cider. With its sweet and tart flavor, apple cider fondue is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
