Boneless Pork Ribs w/Apple Cinnamon BBQ Sauce

This is a recipe I have been very anxious to try out for a few months now. I was skeptical to make it because it makes a lot and if my husband hated it, I would be stuck eating it for days and days. We were both pleasantly surprised at how delicious this dish is. It is a healthier way to enjoy pork ribs and it takes a lot less effort and time than grilling bone-in ribs.

We served this pork rib recipe with some grilled asparagus and fresh fruit salad. Bryan had a leftover wheat dinner roll with his. YUM!

Boneless Pork Ribs with Apple Cinnamon BBQ Sauce
Serves: 4 to 6
Adapted by: http://www.abountifulkitchen.com/2012/03/boneless-pork-ribs-with-apple-cinnamon.html

Ingredients
2 1/2 extra lean boneless pork ribs (all fat removed)
salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 small apple, cored and chopped
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 clove of garlic, minced or crushed
1/3 cup local honey
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup steak sauce
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Directions
-Set your oven rack on the lower half of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees.
-Heat a dutch oven or a heavy pan over medium high heat with the olive oil in it. I recommend a dutch oven! -Add the seasoned ribs (season with salt and pepper). Brown the ribs on all sides quickly. Remove from the pan and set aside.
-Turn heat down to medium and add the apple and onion. You will cook these for just a few minutes. You want them softened. Turn off the heat once they are done.
-Add the garlic to the hot pan and let it sit for 1 minute.
-Add all remaining ingredients and stir to combine together. Also add the ribs back to the pan and make sure to cover them well with the sauce.
-Cover the pan with a lid or foil and place in preheated oven. Reduce heat to 250 degrees and cook for 3 1/2 to 5 hours
-Turn off the oven and leave meat in there until ready to serve.


Enjoy! :)
