Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare the garlic by slicing off about 1/4 inch from the pointed end of the garlic bulb to expose the individual cloves.
3
Place the bulb in a small baking dish, cut side up, and drizzle it generously with olive oil.
4
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and roast in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the garlic cloves are softened and golden brown. Allow the garlic to cool slightly.

Once cooled, gently squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out into a medium saucepan, discarding the skin.
6
To the saucepan, add the finely chopped sweet onion, Granny Smith apple, sugar, and balsamic vinegar.
7
Stir all the ingredients together and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the onion and apple have softened and turned translucent, and the chutney thickens. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
