Instructions

  1. Spray the inside of a crockpot with nonstick spray and turn on low.

  3. In s small bowl, combine the spices (salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, seasoned salt, and red crushed pepper flakes). Mix together until combined. Rub the seasoning mixture on both sides of the ribs. Carefully, place the ribs in the crockpot and cover with lid. Allow to cook for about 8 hours on low.
  4. NOTE: If you have to cut your rib rack, be sure to position the ribs where there is some space in between the ribs so the heat can distribute through the meat evenly.
  5. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, add the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, apple cider vinegar, applesauce, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, dry mustard, crushed red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, ground pepper, and minced garlic. Stir until well combined and cover with lid. Simmer on low for, at least, one hour.
  6. minutes to an hour before serving the ribs, brush half of the barbecue sauce on the ribs and allow to cook When ready to serve, pour the rest of the barbecue sauce on the ribs. Be sure the sauce is warm, and serve as desired.
