Warm Spice Pecan Raisin Apple Chutney #SundaySupper

I love Fall and some of the things I love about Fall are crisp apples and falling leaves. We went apple picking last Saturday and picked about 14 lbs of apples. Aimed for 8 but ended up with more. This week has been ‘apple week’  at home, so I was only too happy to join my #SundaySupper team who are celebrating Fall with an ” Autumn Apple Party” !  I can’t want to visit the other  blogs and grab some apple recipes.  This is first time I made apple chutney and it has easily become one of my favorite apple recipe so far. Tart apples cooked with cinnamon, paprika, cayenne pepper and jalapeno have an enticing aroma that just wafted through my home. This chutney has a serious kick to it, so if you’re not into spicy foods and dips you may want to tone down on the spice. Although, I must say the sweetness of the apples balances the spicy kick. I added some golden raisins while cooking it which went really well with the apples.  I added some toasted pecans which gave it the crunch it needed. I chopped up some fresh mint from my garden and tossed it in and it was perfect. We had it with pork chops for dinner. I have discovered so many uses for it through the week, but my favorite is using it as dip with apples. Apples with apples. Talk about an apple overload ! It tastes delish ! I will be making some more soon!

Nutrition Wise !

Apples are  fat-free and low in calories, so, they’re a good choice for people who are watching their weight. Apples are a good source of both soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber plays a role in reducing heart disease risk by preventing cholesterol build-up in blood vessels, while insoluble fiber aids in effective digestion. Apples contain significant amounts of flavonoids, phytochemicals found in plants that help protect cells from damage, reducing risk for heart disease, cancer and other serious health problems. To get the best out of your apple eat it with the skin since most of the nutrients are in the skin.  In this recipe, I peeled some of the skin and kept some on.  Raisins  contain quercetin, a type of polyphenol that acts as an antioxidant that protects the cells in your body from free radical damage. Pecans are rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and are an excellent source of antioxidants. Regular intake of pecan nuts in the diet help to lower total as well as LDL or “bad cholesterol” and increase HDL or “good cholesterol” levels in the blood.  Putting all this good stuff together in the chutney makes it a heart healthy treat !
