Steps

  1. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim away any excess fat.
  2. Rub both sides of the ribs with a few tablespoons of apple butter — just enough to lightly coat.
  3. Generously season both sides with BBQ dry rub, choosing a blend with a balance of sweet and heat.
  4. Preheat your smoker to 275°F.
    Place the ribs on the smoker and cook for 2 hours.
  5. On a large sheet of heavy-duty foil, spread a few tablespoons of apple butter and about ¼ cup BBQ sauce.
    Lay the ribs on top, wrap tightly, and return them to the smoker for 1 more hour.
  6. Carefully unwrap the ribs and brush with the remaining sauce from the foil. Slice and serve hot.
