Happy National Fondue Day! Now, fondue isn’t exactly a dinner, but if you add a salad to this, it makes for a fun Monday night meal.

This fondue is pretty basic and can be made on the stove for those of us without a special fondue pot. Enjoy it with Granny Smith apples as per the recipe or try it with carrot sticks or thick bread. Anything goes.

Festive Cheddar Fondue

3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 cup whole milk
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
4 Granny Smith apples (medium-sized)
Simply melt butter in a fondue pot (or heavy saucepan over low heat). Slowly whisk in flour and mix well. Gradually whisk in warm milk and stir until thickened. Add diced sharp cheddar cheese, and mix until melted.

Serve with sliced Granny Smith apples. Enjoy!!
