Easy 15 Minute Apple Chutney Recipe (1)

When apple season is upon us, I love eating them out-of-hand.

There’s nothing better than biting into an apple that’s sweet with a slight tart flavor, full of apple aroma, and crisp-textured.

But I also love playing around with various apple recipes!

Apples are always delicious in sweet treats like apple hand pies, muffins, and cakes.

And apple is also great in savory recipes, like chicken breakfast sausage and chicken skillet dinner with cabbage and cranberries.

Lying somewhere in the middle of sweet and savory is apple chutney!

What is Chutney?

Chutney is a condiment from India that's also popular in England. It’s typically made from fruit or vegetables and contains both sugar and vinegar for a balanced sweet, tart flavor. Herbs or spices are often added to chutney for flavor.

Chutney can be slow-cooked like jam or quick-cooked like relish. Depending on whether it's slow or quick-cooked will determine if the chutney is chunky or smooth like apple sauce.

This apple chutney is a balanced sweet and tart condiment that has a texture similar to relish. If you want more of a chutney sauce, add an extra 2 tablespoons of water, cook the apples an extra 5 minutes, and then mash the cooked apple mixture with a potato masher.

This recipe is so easy to make, and takes just 15 minutes. You don't even have to peel the apples before chopping them!

Easy Apple Chutney Recipe

This apple chutney recipe has a balanced flavor profile and a variety of soft and crunchy textures.

It has a sweet tart flavor with notes of caramel from brown sugar.

It’s laced with a touch of cinnamon, and a hint of vanilla adds depth.

A pinch of salt and a little splash of apple cider vinegar balance out the flavor.

Last but not least, walnuts add nutty crunch and golden raisins add soft chewy bursts of sweetness.

  • Golden raisins - or diced dried apricots

What is the Best Apple For Chutney?

Any type of sweet/tart apple will work well. I used Gala apples here, but Honeycrisp or Fuji are also good choices.

If you want your chutney to have a chunky texture, choose an apple that's firmer and stands up to cooking well. On the other hand, if you want smooth chutney sauce, use an apple that is good for applesauce.

What do You Use Apple Chutney For?

Because this fruit-based condiment is both sweet and savory, you can use it in a lot of different ways:

  • Serve it with roast chicken or sausage.
  • Add it to a cheese platter; it’s particularly good with white cheddar or brie!
  • Use it as a topping for yogurt.
  • Add it to a turkey sandwich or a grilled cheese sandwich.

How Long Does Homemade Apple Chutney Last?

Once cooled to room temperature, you can store this chutney covered in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
