How to Make Apple Cider Fondue

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of apple cider to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the cider is reduced by half (approximately 5-7 minutes).
  2. Stir in 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of ground cloves. Mix well to combine.
  3. Add 4 ounces of cream cheese, cut into cubes, and 1/4 cup apple butter. Continue to stir constantly until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth and bubbling hot (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat and briskly whisk the fondue to ensure a smooth, creamy consistency.
  5. Pour the warm fondue into a pre-warmed serving bowl or fondue pot.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite dippers: crusty bread, apple slices, pear slices, pretzels, and more!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
