Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium (peeled, cored, and diced) Apples
- 1 small (finely chopped) Onion
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon (grated) Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Water
- 8 ounces (softened) Cream cheese
Instructions
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small, uniform pieces. Finely chop the onion, and mince the garlic.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced apples, chopped onion, and minced garlic with the grated ginger, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, and water.
Stir the mixture well and bring to a gentle simmer. Lower the heat and cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and the mixture thickens to a chutney-like consistency.
Remove the chutney from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
In a serving bowl, spread the softened cream cheese evenly across the bottom to form a base layer.
Spoon the cooled apple chutney evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Serve immediately with crackers, pita chips, or vegetable sticks. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to 3 days and bring to room temperature before serving.
