How to Make Apple Bourbon Country Style Pork Ribs Slow Cooker
- Season pork ribs generously with salt and pepper.
- Place seasoned ribs in a 6-quart slow cooker.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together: 1 cup apple jelly, 1/4 cup bourbon, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1 cup barbecue sauce, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme.
- Pour the bourbon mixture evenly over the ribs in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until ribs are almost tender.
- Add 2 cups peeled and cored apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), cut into 1-inch chunks, to the slow cooker.
- Cover and continue cooking on low for another 2-3 hours, or on high for 1-1.5 hours, or until the apples are tender and the ribs are falling off the bone.
- Carefully transfer the ribs to a serving platter.
- Strain the cooking liquid to remove solids and serve the sauce alongside the ribs.
