The magic starts with the apple cider glaze—a mix of tangy cider, rich bourbon, and aromatic spices simmered to a glossy perfection. As the glaze thickens on the stovetop, the air fills with the warming notes of cinnamon, cardamom, and just a whisper of chili. Meanwhile, the ribs get a generous coating of smoky paprika, garlic powder, and a touch of mustard powder before baking to tender, caramelized perfection in the oven.
It’s a dish that satisfies cravings on every level. The ribs are smoky and savory, the glaze is sweet with just the right kick, and every bite is a celebration of bold flavors and sticky-fingered indulgence. Serve these ribs at your next gathering or cozy night in—you’ll be the hero of the table, guaranteed.
