Apple Chutney

What is a chutney you might ask, well I will tell you. Think of it as a chunky applesauce. This was something that my brother and I made for my mom's birthday dinner.
 Here's what you need:

1 1/2 pounds gala apples
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
2/3 cup dark or light brown sugar
1 medium onion diced
3 tablespoons of butter
salt and pepper to taste

Peel, core, and dice the apples. Place apples in a bowl of water with lemon juice so they don't turn brown. Peel and dice onion. Heat a saute pan/skillet on a medium high heat. Melt the butter in this pan; when the butter is nice and hot put in diced onions. Saute onions until translucent. Remove apples from water and add to the pan with onions. Saute apples and onions together for about 5 minutes then add the remaining ingredients. There will be quite a bit of liquid in the pan at first, you want to continue cooking until the liquid in the pan has reduced by half or more and has become a syrup. Serve hot or warm.
