Categories     main-dish

Time 3h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 slabs baby back ribs, about 1 pound each (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon chipotle chile powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup apple cider
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, chipotle chile powder, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, seafood seasoning and black pepper.
  • Place each slab of ribs on a piece of aluminum foil large enough to fold over and seal, then place on a baking sheet. Do not seal the ribs in the foil yet (see Cook's Note). Generously sprinkle the dry rub on both sides of the ribs. Place in the refrigerator, meat-side down and uncovered, for at least 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, combine the apple cider, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Worcestershire and minced garlic. Pour half the liquid over each slab and tightly seal each in the aluminum foil, crimping the edges to make a packet.
  • Transfer the foil packets and baking sheet to the oven and bake until the meat is tender and starts to pull away from the bones, about 2 hours.
  • Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Carefully open the aluminum packets and pour the braising liquid into a small saucepan. Bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat until it becomes a thick and syrupy glaze, about 4 minutes.
  • While the braising liquid reduces, line a baking sheet with foil and gently transfer the ribs to it. Position a rack on the top level of the oven and preheat the broiler.
  • Using a pastry brush, generously brush the ribs with about half the glaze. Place the ribs under the broiler for about 1 minute. Brush with the remaining glaze and return to the broiled until charred in spots, about 1 minute more. Slice each rack between the bones into 2-rib portions and serve.

Tips:

  • To ensure tender and juicy ribs, choose a rack of ribs with good marbling. Look for ribs with a nice layer of fat running through them, as this will help keep them moist during cooking.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and rubs. There are many different ways to season ribs, so find a combination that you enjoy. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, and cumin.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow. This will help them to tenderize and develop a rich flavor. The ideal cooking temperature for ribs is between 225°F and 250°F.
  • Use a combination of cooking methods. For the best results, start by braising the ribs in a flavorful liquid. This will help to break down the collagen and make them more tender. Then, finish them off by baking them in the oven until they are cooked through.
  • Don't overcook the ribs. Ribs are done when they are tender and fall off the bone. If you overcook them, they will become dry and tough.

Conclusion:

Apple sauce baked ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your ribs turn out tender, juicy, and flavorful. So next time you're looking for a crowd-pleasing meal, give apple sauce baked ribs a try!
