Step 3Make cheese sauce
Shred the cheese; set aside half of the cheddar. Mix the rest of the cheese in a bowl.
Sprinkle the flour into the pan with the apple and onion while stirring. If needed, add another tablespoon of butter to incorporate all the flour. You don't want lumps. Keep stirring until everything is mixed well and you see no white powdery flour. Add the apple cider and stir well. The mixture should thicken quickly as it heats up. When smooth, stir in the milk. Keep stirring and cook until bubbles form. Turn off the heat.
Add the mixed cheese, one handful at a time, stirring after each addition until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth. Grind in some black pepper, grate on about 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, and crush the thyme in your hand before adding to the sauce. Taste the sauce and see if it needs salt. Add salt if needed. Stir the sauce thoroughly. Taste it again, for good measure. Mmmmmm cheese...
