This cider-spiced caramel fondue with apples is a perfect treat. If you don't have that many guests, this recipe is easy to cut in half. You can also make the entire caramel fondue and store half in the refrigerator to use later as a topping for ice cream. You can sub the cinnamon stick for 1/4 tsp but do not use crushed cloves. If you don't have them whole leave them out.
