Slow Cooker Country Ribs

I have to give credit where credit is due. When my daughter was diagnosed with Celiac disease my younger sister showed up the very next day with a sack full of gluten free food and this cookbook. (Thanks Aubs) Since my daughter was only two when she was diagnosed I was having a hard time finding recipes that were mild enough for her palette. I have found and use a lot of really great recipes from this book. This recipe is one of them. I have made a few adjustments, but basically it is the same. Here it is:


Country Ribs

2 lbs lean country style pork ribs
3/4 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup applesauce
3 Tblspn Ketchup (I actually use BBQ sauce)
1 Tblspn Worcestershire sauce
2 Tblspn Lemon juice
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Lay the ribs in a slow cooker. In a bowl, stir together all remaining ingredients. Pour the sauce over the ribs. Cover the pot and cook on low heat for 8 hours.
