In a medium saucepan, combine the raisins, finely chopped onion, apple, brown sugar, vinegar, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Add the grated ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, salt, and red chili flakes (if using). Stir to mix the spices evenly.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 20-25 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking.
Cook until the mixture thickens and the raisins have plumped up, while the onions and apple pieces have softened.
Taste the chutney and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add a pinch of salt or a dash of vinegar to balance sweetness and tanginess to your liking.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the chutney cool to room temperature.
Transfer the chutney to a clean jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Serve the raisin chutney as a condiment with roasted meats, curry dishes, cheese boards, or crusty bread.
