I hope you’re still loving apples as much as I am this season. I’m still creating ways to use our bounty from our afternoon of apple picking last weekend. We’ve made apple bread, apple tarts, tossed them in salads, & created centerpieces with them. I find inspiration for projects & recipes in the most unlikely places – like a box nestled in a back corner of a basement. I was at an estate sale with a friend when I found some adorable glass apple dishes at – I couldn’t resist! They inspired me to make a apple & cheese soup! I was immediately reminded of the Melting Pot’s fabulous cheese fondue, served with Granny Smith apples. It’s one of my favorite combinations, so I used a couple of my favorite cheeses, soup basics & woila! A fabulous & easy apple & cheese soup! Our family ate every last drop of it.
This recipe takes slightly longer than most of mine {usually 10 or 15 minute dinners}, but it’s not all hands on time. It is really easy & did I mention, cheesy? Mmm!

How are you enjoying your apples this fall?
This looks amazing! My daughter’s school does a staff appreciation “crockpot soup day” for teachers during parent/teacher conference day, and I’m planning to make this soup for this event. I will make it on the stovetop as instructed, but I just wanted to check and see if you think after cooking it, it would reheat well/last for several hours on low in the crockpot ??? Thank you in advance!!
Absolutely! How sweet of you…and apple is so fitting for teachers. Enjoy!
Love apples and cheese together! This soup looks awesome!
