Flavor of many Anglo-Indian chutneys (5)

I believe the answer is:

apple

(Other definitions for apple that I've seen before include "Fruit of the rose family" , "Crab, cooking or eating fruit" , "pie?" , "Fruit with firm white flesh" , "Orchard fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
