2. Prep Apples: Peel and core the apples, then cut them into 1/2-inch cubes, yielding approximately 12 cups. Toss the apple cubes with a little vinegar to prevent browning.

3. Cook Chutney: In a large saucepan, combine the apples, remaining vinegar, onions, brown sugar, ground ginger, salt, pepper, cinnamon sticks, and the reserved hot pepper mixture. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

4. Simmer: Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the mixture, stirring often, until the liquid is reduced to a maple-syrup consistency and the apples are soft but still intact, approximately 30-45 minutes.

5. Final Touches: Remove and discard the cinnamon sticks from the chutney.

6. Canning: Ladle the hot chutney into one-cup hot sterilized canning jars, placing one hot pepper in each jar and leaving a 1/2-inch headspace.

7. Seal Jars: Cover the jars with prepared lids and screw on the bands fingertip-tight.

8. Process: Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes to ensure proper preservation.
