Recently, I found myself with several bags of apples waiting to be eaten. And by “found myself” I mean, I went to the store and bought 20 pounds of apples… Why? Because we had an apple-themed potluck at my house and I wanted to make sure we had enough apples. I made this delicious apple chutney, apple butter, chilled apple cider punch, and a spiced apple pulao. I really love all of the apple recipes that I made, but I have to say this chutney was my favorite. It’s just so unique in flavor! It’s made with traditional Indian pickling spices like fennel seeds and fenugreek seeds. It also calls for curry leaves which not only adds aroma but also gives the chutney an extra flavor boost.
How to enjoy apple chutney:
I put a small jar of this apple chutney on a fall cheese board and it was definitely a conversation starter. Putting this on a cheese plate is a great way to introduce an Indian recipe to friends who aren’t quite as familiar with Indian food. If you make this delicious fruit chutney, know that you will be giving your guests something to talk about while they snack on it. If you have an abundance of apples this apple season then you must try this instant pot apple chutney! You can even freeze this chutney to enjoy later in the season. Let me know if you make this!
