Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the spareribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, meat side up. Season generously with salt and pepper.
-
Cover the spareribs with another sheet of foil, creating a sealed packet. Roast in the oven for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the meat is tender and nearly falling off the bone.
-
In a saucepan, combine the applesauce, barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well to combine. Simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Remove the spareribs from the oven and increase the temperature to 400°F (200°C). Carefully unwrap the foil from the ribs and brush them generously with the apple barbecue sauce.
-
Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce is sticky and caramelized.
-
Once the spareribs are done, let them rest for a few minutes before slicing them into individual ribs. Serve hot with extra sauce on the side for dipping.
