Ingredients
- 2 racks Baby back ribs
- 1/4 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Paprika
- 1 tbsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 2 tbsp Mustard
- 1 cup Apple juice
Steps
- Heat the oven to 300°F. Pull the thin membrane off the bone side of each rack — grip it with a paper towel and it peels right off.
- Rub the ribs with mustard, then coat generously with the mixed dry rub.
- Wrap each rack tightly in foil with a splash of apple juice.
- Bake 2.5 hours, until the meat has pulled back from the bone ends.
- Unwrap and brush with any collected juices.
- Broil 5 minutes, watching closely, until the rub caramelizes and chars in spots.
- Rest 10 minutes so the juices settle.
- Slice between the bones and serve.
