Sweet and Sticky Applesauce Ribs
 
 
I baked three racks and doubled the recipe. You'll definitely want to cut back on the sugar if you do this.

Ingredients
  • 2 racks of pork loin ribs
  • Sauce
  • 1 cup applesauce unsweetened
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 cloves of garlic diced
  • 6 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 brown sugar (I use one cup)
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
Instructions
  1. Unpackage the ribs, turn over and remove the thin white strip of fell from the back. Cut into 1-2 piece ribs. Place in a large pot, cover with water and boil over medium heat for 45 minutes to an hour or until done. Drain and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, mix all Sauce ingredients together in a large pot over medium heat until sugar is dissolved and sauce is blended.
  3. Preheat oven to 350F.
  4. Once ribs are boiled, put in a roasting pan or casserole dish. Pour over the sauce and move ribs around to coat.
  5. Bake uncovered for about 45 minutes, until sauce has thickened and everything is heated through.
