Indian Apple Ginger Chutney and a slice of toasted bread are what I call Perfect Autumn Bliss!!
The warming spices in this chutney, tease your taste buds enough to leave you wanting more and more of this delight.
Chutney/Jams/Pickles are one of the ‘Must Have’ in any Indian household whether you go to any part of the world.
The funny thing is that we cannot differentiate between that love as we love all three of them equal.
So as soon as the fresh apple season starts in India, many grandma’s / mom’s would take out one day to make homemade Jams/Chutney.
Ingredients for the Chutney:
- Red Apples – peeled, cored and chopped in tiny pieces
- Fresh Ginger – finely chopped
- Olive Oil
- White Vinegar
- Indian Spices: turmeric, red chili powder, clove powder
How to Make Indian Apple Ginger Chutney
And this Indian Apple Ginger Chutney is what my mom made every single year and to date whenever she visits us in the USA, she makes a big batch for us.
Trust me, that batch no matter how Big, always magically disappears within a few months as we literally slather it on anything or everything.
Be it on a toast, crackers, cheese, meats, or just a spoonful, this is simply amazing!
So this season, as soon as we got the fresh red apples from our local farmers, we made this spiced apple chutney (another name for it).
I followed my mom’s recipe and just added ‘Cloves’ for a smoky flavor that goes so well with both apple and ginger.
And it was quite a pleasant surprise for everyone at home as I don’t usually make chutney/jams.
But I couldn’t let go of another apple season without my Mom’s famous – Indian Apple Ginger Chutney
The apple chutney is absolutely easy peasy to make at home and this one gets ready in 12 minutes.
It usually serves 6 people (if everything takes 2tbsp) and can be stored in the fridge for 15 days.
Please make sure the jar you use to store this Indian Apple Ginger Chutney is absolutely clean and dry (fresh storebought is preferred).
Also, as everyone we know loooooves this chutney, this season I’ve decided to make a couple of extra jars as gifts.
They make a perfect homemade gift for loved ones or teachers at your kid’s school.
Just add some fancy bread/cookies or wine if you please and turn this into a holiday gift basket.

Hello Janis, you need 4tbsp sugar and 1 cup water. You can adjust sugar as per the sweetness of apples you are using or your taste. Thanks, Molly

Could you tell how much sugar and water is needed for this recipe? I don’t see sugar and water in the ingredient list but they are mentioned in the directions!!
Molly Kumar October 11, 2018 (6:11 pm)
Hi, I’ve used 2 Tbsp Sugar and 1 Cup Water. However if the apples are too sweet, you can reduce the sugar accordingly. Thanks, Molly
