GUEST POST: Spiced apple chutney from Nutmeg Nanny
Hello Baked by Rachel readers! I’m Brandy and I blog over on Nutmeg Nanny and I’m super excited to be here today.
I’m a huge fan of chutney and even though it’s not the most attractive food it’s great on top of meat dishes. It’s like a savory version of applesauce and it pairs beautifully with pork, chicken and even turkey. The recipe its self is pretty forgiving and can be customized to your liking. Don’t have fuji apples? Don’t worry, green apples will work too. Not a fan of dried cherries? Raisins, dates or even dried cranberries are excellent options.
Also, can I just say I’m a huge fan of the word chutney. It’s just so much fun to say – Chut-a-ney! Trust me, you want to make this. Not only is it delicious but you get a reason to go around and say chut-a-ney…why wouldn’t you want to do that?
Spiced Apple Chutney
Ingredients
- 2 fuji apples peeled and diced small
- 1 small jalapeño pepper seeded and diced small
- 1/2 C red onion diced
- 1/2 C dried cherries roughly chopped
- 1/2 C dark brown sugar
- 1/2 C apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp ginger freshly grated
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tsp apple pie spice
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper optional
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high sided large skillet and set a timer for 45 minutes.
- Heat mixture over medium-high heat until boiling.
- Once it starts to boil, lower the heat to medium-low and let simmer till the mixture cooks down and starts to thicken.
- When you mixture is almost cooked (about 10 minutes left on the timer) gently mash it with a hand held masher. You want the mixture to remain chunky so don't mash too much. Continue cooking until thick.
- Serve warm and store uneaten chutney in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

Chutneys are the best, but I’ve never thought to make one with apples before. I love the other flavors going on in here too! I’m thinking this would be amazing on top of pork chops this fall!
