- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. In a bowl, mix 1/4 cup of the sugar with the garlic salt, chile powder, salt, black pepper, celery salt, cayenne, cinnamon, and white pepper.

Steps:
- Combine all the ingredients for the dry rub in a small bowl and mix together well.
- Tear a large enough piece of Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil to place rack of ribs on it and be able to fully cover, meat side up. Evenly coat both sides of the ribs with the dry rub, pressing it in with your hands.
- Fold up the sides of the foil to create a rim, and pour the apple juice in around the ribs. Fold the foil over the ribs and crimp it to create a tight seal. Tear off one more piece of large foil and wrap the whole thing again to ensure a tight seal.
- Place the wrapped ribs in the fridge to marinate for 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 225 degrees F and cook ribs for about 4 hours. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork, but they shouldn't be falling off the bone.
- Combine all the BBQ sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce to a simmer and allow the sauce to thicken and reduce by about a third, stirring occasionally.
- Preheat grill to high heat. Cover the grill rack with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil. Place the cooked ribs meat side up on the grill and brush the top with a layer of sauce. Close grill until the sauce is mostly dried, about 5 minutes. Brush another layer of sauce on top and close grill for an additional 5 minutes. Remove ribs from grill and lightly brush with one more layer of sauce.
- Cut the ribs into individual pieces and serve with extra sauce.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Ribs: Select high-quality pork ribs, such as baby back ribs or spare ribs, with good marbling for extra flavor and tenderness.
- Proper Seasoning: Generously season the ribs with a flavorful blend of spices, including salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder. You can also add a rub of your choice for extra taste.
- Low and Slow Cooking: Cook the ribs low and slow to achieve fall-off-the-bone tenderness. Maintain a temperature between 225°F and 250°F for several hours, allowing the collagen to break down and the meat to become succulent.
- Create a Smoky Environment: If possible, cook the ribs over indirect heat with a smoker or grill setup. Alternatively, you can add a smoker box with wood chips to your grill to infuse the ribs with a smoky flavor.
- Baste Regularly: During the cooking process, baste the ribs with the apple cider vinegar barbecue sauce every 30-45 minutes. This will help keep the ribs moist, caramelize the sauce, and enhance the flavor.
- Monitor Internal Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the ribs have reached an internal temperature of 195°F to 203°F. This temperature range guarantees that the meat is properly cooked and tender.
- Rest and Serve: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for about 15-20 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more flavorful and tender meat.
Conclusion:
Apple-glazed BBQ ribs are a tantalizing culinary delight that combines the smoky, tangy flavors of barbecue sauce with the natural sweetness of apples. By following these tips and techniques, you can create mouthwatering ribs that will impress your family and friends. Whether you prefer baby back ribs or spare ribs, the key to success lies in proper seasoning, low and slow cooking, and basting the ribs regularly with the flavorful apple cider vinegar barbecue sauce. So fire up your grill or smoker, gather your ingredients, and embark on a culinary journey that will leave you craving more of these delectable ribs.
