How to Make Apples And Cinnamon Barbecue Sauce

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 large chopped apple (about 1 cup), 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of your favorite barbecue sauce, 1 tablespoon apple juice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  3. Reduce heat to low, and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  4. Continue to simmer uncovered on the lowest heat setting for 10 more minutes, or until the sauce has reached your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
