Ingredients
  • 2 racks Baby Back Ribs
  • 3 tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 cup Apple Juice
  • 1 cup Apple Butter
  • 1 cup BBQ Sauce
Instructions
1

Preheat your oven or smoker to 275°F (135°C). Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs.

2

Mix the brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to create the dry rub. Coat the ribs evenly.

3

Place ribs on a large sheet of heavy-duty foil. Pour a splash of apple juice over the ribs and seal the foil tightly.

4

Bake or smoke the foil-wrapped ribs for 2.5 to 3 hours, until tender but not falling apart.

5

In a small saucepan, mix the apple butter and BBQ sauce over low heat until combined and warm.

6

Carefully remove the ribs from the foil and place them on a baking sheet or back on the smoker.

7

Brush the apple butter glaze over the ribs and broil for 3-5 minutes (or smoke at a higher heat for 15 mins) until caramelized.

8

Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
