Ingredients
- 16 ounces Emmentaler or Swiss cheese, rind discarded and cut into small cubes
- 16 ounces Gruyer, rind discarded and grated
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 4 ounces unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons minced shallots
- 1 1/2 cups apple cider

Directions
In a medium bowl, toss the cheeses with the cornstarch to coat.
In a heavy medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until soft, 1 minute. Add the cider, water, and lemon juice and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the coated cheese in 3 additions, stirring constantly and adding more cheese as the previous addition has melted. Once all the cheese has been added, add the salt and pepper and stir.
Remove from the heat and carefully pour into a fondue pot for serving, and following the manufacturer's instructions.
Serve hot with dipping items of choice.

I was thrilled to find a fondue recipe that didn't call for wine and this was absolutely fabulous!! I made it for my mom, sister and brother-in-law and we all agreed it was the best fondue we have ever had!! I especially loved it with apples, it was like a party in my mouth!! YUM!!!

I used some different cheeses (16 oz. swiss, 8 oz. monterey jack, and 6 oz. goat cheese, since gruyere is pretty expensive. It wasn't super smooth, but it was amazing and delicious! I'm not much of a wine person, so the apple cider was nice, and added a great flavor. I'll definitely make this every time I do fondue! Thanks, Emeril!
