What is Spiced Apple Chutney?
Spiced apple chutney is a sweet and tangy condiment made from fresh apples, vinegar, sugar, and a blend of warm spices. It has a thick, jam-like consistency and is often enjoyed as a side dish or topping for various dishes. Its rich flavors make it an excellent pairing for many autumn-inspired treats.
Ingredients for Homemade Spiced Apple Chutney
- 4 large apples, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves

How to Make Spiced Apple Chutney
Start by combining all ingredients in a large pot. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally. The chutney is ready when it has thickened and the apples are soft. Pour into sterilized jars and let cool before sealing. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or process in a water bath for longer shelf life.
