Ingredients
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 pound Muenster cheese, shredded
  • 1/3 cup Sliced almonds
  • 1 pound Frozen white bread dough, thawed according to package directions
  • 2 Red apples
  • 2 Green apples
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 1 cup Mango chutney, optional
  • 1 Minced fresh rosemary
Directions
  1. 1
    Adjust oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  2. 2
    Grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter or margarine to prevent sticking.
  3. 3
    In a small bowl, beat the eggs lightly until just combined.
  4. 4
    Peel, core, and thinly slice the red and green apples. Toss the apple slices with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
  5. 5
    Roll out the thawed frozen white bread dough into a rectangle large enough to line the bottom and sides of the prepared springform pan.
  6. 6
    Press the dough gently into the pan, ensuring it covers the bottom and extends up the sides.
  7. 7
    Sprinkle half of the shredded Muenster cheese over the bottom of the dough-lined pan.
  8. 8
    Layer the sliced apples evenly over the cheese.
  9. 9
    If using, spread the mango chutney over the apples in a thin, even layer.
  10. 10
    Sprinkle the remaining shredded Muenster cheese over the apples and chutney.
  11. 11
    Brush the exposed edges of the dough with the beaten egg wash for a golden finish.
  12. 12
    Sprinkle the sliced almonds and minced fresh rosemary over the top of the cheese and apples.
  13. 13
    Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
  14. 14
    Allow the fondue bread to cool for 5-10 minutes before removing from the pan and serving warm.

Note

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 300°F for 10-15 minutes to restore crispness.

Substitutions: You can substitute Muenster cheese with Gruyère or Swiss cheese for a different flavor profile. If mango chutney is unavailable, apple chutney or a cranberry sauce works well.

Tips: To prevent the apples from sinking, ensure they are sliced thinly and uniformly. Patting the apples dry with a paper towel after tossing with lemon juice can also help.

Variations: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cheese layer for extra warmth. For a savory twist, omit the chutney and add caramelized onions.
