Well this recipe is for apple chutney OH, and I guess crab apples would work too.
Ingredients

8oz onions, chopped
2lb apples, cored and chopped
4oz sultanas, raisins or chopped dates
1/2 teasp ginger
1 teasp mix'd spice
1/2 teasp cardamom
1 tsp salt
12oz granulated sugar
¾ pints malt vinegar

Preparation method

Put all the ingredients into a preserving pan. Slowly bring to the boil until the sugar has dissolved.
Simmer for 1½-2 hours, stirring from time to time to stop the chutney sticking to the pan.
When it is very thick turn into sterilised jars, seal and cool.
Store in a cool, dark cupboard for two to three months before eating.
You can vary the spices to personal preference, eg you might like clove or star anise instead of cardamom.
Sit down before a fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconcieved notion, follow humbly wherever and to whatever abyss nature leads, or you shall learn nothing.
