Step by step

  1. 01

    Cut ribs into 4 equal pieces.

  3. 03

    Rub both sides of ribs generously with Sweet/Spicy Rib Rub mixture.

  4. 04

    Broil ribs until nicely carmelized.

  5. 05

    Mix BBQ sauces & honey together, set aside.

    Place sliced apples & diced onion in the bottom of the slow cooker.

  7. 07

    Add cider & liqueur.

  8. 08

    Place one portion of ribs, pour some sauce, repeat until all 4 portions are in the slow cooker & covered with sauce.

  9. 09

    Cover & Crock on low for 4-5 hours or until the meat starts falling off the bone.  (Try not to remove the lid until the ribs are nearly done – “if you’re lookin’, you’re not cookin’. “)
