Put all ingredients except the apple juice into a medium-sized saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce heat until mixture is at a slow simmer. Allow the ingredients to cook and reduce so that the apples are soft but not completely reduced to applesauce. It takes quite a while for this to occur, about 45 minutes to an hour.
This is a modified Nigella Lawson recipe. I found the mixture cooked dry quite frequently, so just kept splashing apple juice liberally to keep it going until it was cooked to the consistency of a chutney. In the end my apples wouldn’t bake down so I used a potato masher to make the mixture more “chutney-like”. Store in refrigerator.
Makes about two cups.
