Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 pounds pork baby back ribs
1/2 cup apple juice, plus 1/4 cup
1 cup barbecue sauce
2/3 cup applesauce
1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill to medium.
  • Combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, red pepper, mustard and salt in small bowl. Mix until well blended. Put each rib rack onto a large piece of heavy duty foil. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly onto both rib racks. Fold up the sides of the foil, and pour 1/4 cup of apple juice into each rib foil packet. Close the foil package, leaving room at the top for heat circulation. Grill the packets for 1 hour on medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, combine 1/4 cup apple juice, the barbeque sauce, applesauce, cider vinegar, cinnamon and ginger in small bowl until well blended.
  • Remove the ribs from the foil packet. Return them to the grill and brush them with the barbecue sauce mixture until well coated and caramelized.
  • Remove the racks from the grill to a cutting board and cut into 2-rib sections. Arrange the ribs on a serving platter and serve. Enjoy!

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a little bit more spice to the sauce.

I made these ribs in the oven and they were just as good as if I had cooked them on the grill.

I used a different type of applesauce than the recipe called for and the ribs still turned out great.
