Made for Valentine's Day family fondue night and this was everyone's favorite. Just realized I forgot the paprika and nutmeg; oh well, it was still good! Served with bread cubes, multigrain and sourdough, rye pretzels, mushrooms cut in half, and baby carrots cut in half. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

My family's favorite, though I thought the apple flavor was overwhelming. I will make it again but will substitute vernors ginger ale (my favorite white wine substitute) for at least half of the juice next time.

We loved this! It has very good flavors and was easy to make. I followed the recipe as written. The flavors went well together. The nutmeg really complimented the flavor of the cheeses and the apple juice. We will be making this one again. Thanks for posting!

My husband loved this! We had tried making fondue whilst in Switzerland but without any cornstarch or lemon. I read somewhere that if you don't use wine you need the acidity of the lemon to make the fondue work. Thanks heaps.
