Start by preparing your apricots. Wash them thoroughly, then pit and chop them into small pieces.
In a large saucepan, combine the chopped apricots, apple cider vinegar, and water. Cook over medium heat until the apricots start to break down, about 15 minutes.
Add the chopped onion, ginger, garlic, red chili flakes, mustard seeds, ground cinnamon, ground coriander, and salt to the saucepan. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Decrease the heat to low and let the mixture simmer uncovered. Cook for about 30 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chutney thickens and the onions are translucent and soft.
Taste the chutney and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add the granulated stevia or your preferred sugar alternative, and stir to combine. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
Remove from heat and let the chutney cool slightly.
Transfer the chutney to sterilized jars, sealing tightly. Allow chutney to cool completely at room temperature before moving to the refrigerator.
Serve as a condiment with cheese, grilled meats, or spice up your sandwich. Chutney can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
