Apple Pickle | Apple Pachadi | Pickled Granny Smith Apples

Apple Pickle

Apples are the one fruit I maintain a distance. It's kind of complicated that I like to have a apple juice but not the fruit. Even a tasty dessert with it is a no no to me. So this time when I was visiting the fruit/veggie market I thought of trying this green "Granny Smith Apples" & got a couple of them. 


The other day while I was taking to my mom she told me about my grand mom's recipe for chutney with red apples.With collaborated effort we both came out with this spicy pickle recipe.
Pickles generally ask for sourness in the recipe & granny smith apples have what a pickle needed. It's a instant pickle with couple more ingredients add to it & you can have it on the same day you made it.
