No reviews

A flavorful sweet onion and apple chutney that blends the tangy sweetness of apples with the rich caramelized onions, making it perfect for meats, cheeses, or sandwiches.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced

¼ teaspoon salt

1 medium Granny Smith apple, peeled and diced small

1 tablespoon dark brown sugar

2 tablespoons agave nectar, maple syrup, or honey

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the thinly sliced sweet onion to the pan, sprinkle with salt, and sauté until the onion becomes soft and translucent, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Add the diced apple to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing it to soften slightly.
  4. Stir in the dark brown sugar, agave nectar (or maple syrup or honey), balsamic vinegar, and lemon juice. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for another 10-15 minutes until the mixture thickens and the apples and onions are well caramelized.
  5. Once the chutney reaches a thick consistency, remove from the heat and let it cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Store the chutney in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Reheat by warming in a small pan over low heat, stirring occasionally.

This chutney can be made a day or two ahead for enhanced flavor.

If you prefer a spicier chutney, add red pepper flakes or fresh chili pepper.

Feel free to substitute other apples or experiment with different sweeteners and vinegar types for a unique twist.
