How to Make Bar B Barn Ribs

  1. In a heavy saucepan, combine 1 cup applesauce, ½ cup packed brown sugar, ¼ cup lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  2. Over medium-high heat, bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place parboiled ribs (approximately 3 lbs) in an oven-safe dish.
  4. Brush ribs generously with about half of the sauce, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  5. Bake for 45 minutes.
  6. Flip the ribs, brush with the remaining sauce, and bake for an additional 45 minutes, or until the ribs are tender and the sauce is caramelized. Alternatively, grill ribs over medium heat for approximately 45 minutes per side, basting frequently with sauce.
  7. Let the ribs rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serves 4.
