Apple Chutney is a sweet and savory relish made with apples, raisins, sugar, and a dash of spices. It is a perfect relish to make the most of apple season. This is a simple, gluten-free, and vegan apple chutney recipe.

Apple Chutney has its roots in Anglo-Indian Cuisine. It is an English style savory spread with a touch of Indian spices.

Apple and cinnamon is an age-old friendship. Together they create a delectable flavor, which is hard to resist, leaving behind in the taste buds – the warmth of cinnamon, tartness of apples, and the sweetness of sugar.

I never prefer buying canned chutney, pickles, and spread rather enjoy making them from scratch. Homemade spreads are free of preservatives, artificial colors, and flavoring.

The best part is you can make them in the quantity as per your requirement.

Ingredients Required

Apple: The firm, crisp, sweet, ripe apple is perfect for making the chutney. Royal Gala, Honeycrisp, Shimla Apple, California Apple, are a few of the varieties commonly used for making chutney.

Raisin: They make the chutney sweet and gives it a delicious texture. Any variety of sweet-tasting raisins is fine.

Onion: The savory flavor and a sweet aroma come from the onion in this chutney. You can use red onion or white onion.

Sugar: Adjust the amount of sugar according to the sweetness/tartness of the apple. From granulated white sugar, brown sugar, to jaggery powder, you can use either of these sweeteners.

Cinnamon: A whole stick or powder, either of these are perfect to compliment the flavor of apple and raisins.

Cooking Oil: Any flavorless oil is fine to saute the onion and spices.

Vinegar: The apple cider vinegar enhances the flavor of the chutney and helps in preserving it.

Seasoning: Salt, whole red chilies, and garam masala

Step-By-Step Apple Chutney Recipe

Step 1) Peel, discard seeds, and grate the apples.

Step 2) Heat oil over medium flame in a pan. Add cinnamon, red chili, raisins, and saute for 10 – 20 seconds.

Step 3) Add chopped onion and saute for 1 – 2 minutes to soften (image 4).

Step 4) Add the grated apples along with garam masala, salt, and vinegar to the pan. Stir to combine and continue to cook on medium-low heat till apples are soft and mushy.

Step 5) Once apples turn mushy add the sugar. Stir to combine and gently mash the chutney with a potato masher while it is on heat.

Cooking steps of apple chutney recipePin

Turn the heat to low and allow it to simmer until all the excess liquid is evaporated and the chutney begins to turn thick (image 6). Once the apple raisin chutney has begun to turn thick, turn off the heat.

Let the chutney cool down to room temperature.

Then spoon the Apple Raisin Chutney into clean, dry, glass jars and seal with the lid.

Serving Suggestion

The apple chutney taste great with:

cheese crackers

grilled cheese sandwich

paratha, palak puri, or cheese puri

Storage Suggestion

Allow the apple chutney to cool down completely. Transfer to a clean, sterilized jar. Close the jar with a tight fitting lid.

Store apple chutney in the refrigerator for 1 – 2 months. At room temperature, it remains fresh for 1 – 2 days only.

Make sure to use a clean and dry spoon to serve the chutney to ensure that it lasts longer.

You can also freeze this apple chutney.

Recipe Notes:

  • You can finely chop the apples as well. I like the texture of grated apples in the chutney. 
  • Adjust the amount of sugar according to the sweetness/tartness of apples. 
  • The consistency of apple chutney is semi-thick with a coarse texture. 
  • If the raisins are of small size, no need to chop them. Add the whole raisins.
  • In place of dry red chili, you can add the red paprika powder as well.
