Step 1

Toss shredded cheddar in cornstarch, chili powder, paprika, cayenne, and mustard powder set aside.

Step 2

Heat butter in frying pan, then sauté garlic and shallots for 5 minutes. Be careful they do not brown or burn.

Step 3

Add the pilsner and Worcestershire sauce. Heat until simmering.

Step 4

Add the cheese, a little at a time until it's all melted and stir to combine.

Step 5

Pour mixture into your chosen fondue pot and light according to your manufacturer's instructions.

Step 6

To keep the apples from oxidizing after cutting them, submerge these into water with a teaspoon of lemon juice.

Step 7

Bake or grill your sausage until cooked through, then slice into rounds.

Step 8

Cut your potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower and shallots into large pieces. Leave your asparagus whole, or cut in half. Drizzle them with a small amount of oil and rub them with salt and pepper. Roast these at 375°F until cooked through but not too soft.

Step 9

Toast your sourdough cubes, or leave as is. Serve all of the above warm on a platter with fondue forks.
