4 cups shredded sharp Cheddar Cheese

4 1/2 teaspoons Cornstarch

1 1/4 cups sparkling Apple Cider

1/4 cup Lemon Juice

1/2 teaspoon Salt (or to taste)

1/4 teaspoon ground Cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground Nutmeg

Fresh ground Black Pepper

Cheddar Cheese cubes

Waffles, pieces

Sausage, slices (summer sausage)

Apples, slices

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, toss the cheese and cornstarch together. Add the cider and lemon juice to a saucepan; heat over medium heat until just barely simmering. Add the cheese mixture to the saucepan, a handful at a time; stir until the cheese is melted before adding the next handful of cheese. Add in the salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pepper to taste; stir to blend. Let cook on low heat for 3-5 minutes or until thickened. Pour into a fondue pot and keep warm over the burner OR transfer to a crockpot set on LOW to keep it warm. Serve with cheddar cheese cubes, waffle pieces, sausage slices, apple slices, or anything else you can think of.
