These ribs are absolutely delicious and the smells wafting throughout the house are really difficult to resist! Pair these beauties with baked potatoes and sweet corn for a fabulous weeknight dinner.
I love my slow cooker, though sometimes I forget about it all tucked away in the cabinet. I’ve been trying to bring it out more, and this is one of my favorites meals to make in it.
Everyone has a favorite crock pot rib recipe, but if you don’t have one yet I encourage you to try this one. You’ll love me for it.
Basically you’ll mix up the rub and then rub that all over the meat, brown them in a pan and add them to the crock on a bed of onion and apples. Ad barbecue sauce and cook!
Ingredients
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1 large onion, sliced into rings
- 1 large apple, sliced into rings
- 5-6 pounds country style pork ribs
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt, finely ground
- 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard powder
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon granulated garlic
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
For the Ribs
The Rub
Instructions
- Mix the liquid smoke into the barbecue sauce and set aside.
- Layer onion in the bottom of the slower cooker. Layer the sliced apples over the onions.
- Mix all the rub ingredients together. Rub all over the ribs.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet. Brown the ribs on all sides. You may have to work in batches. Add remaining olive oil to the skillet if needed.
- To the slow cooker, add a layer of ribs (start with any that contain bones) on top of the apples and onions. Cover those ribs with about 1/3 cup of the barbecue sauce mixture, brushing on to cover the meat.
- Layer remaining ribs on top of the first layer and pour on the rest of the barbecue sauce. Use a brush to ensure all ribs are covered.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high 4-5 hours.

Taylor was just telling me how much he loves ribs and asking when we’re ever going to have them. He would love these. And they do look delicious!
i am a HUGE rib lover. my dad took me to every rib place he could find looking for the best. the funny thing is his favorite place was called the ‘rib shack’! what kind of name is that? anyway, these ribs look so delicious! can’t wait to try! :)
My husband loves ribs but I don’t like the work of the recipe that I usually make. Definitely will have to try this crock pot recipe, so much easier!
Sounds DELICIOUS! I love walking into the house and smelling such goodness coming from the crock pot:) Happy New Year, Amanda!
I am definitely going to be making these.
I haven’t made ribs in the slow cooker… but, knowing how my family loves them, I’m going to have to try it! We usually smoke ours, but with the cold months, that’s not happening as much as it does in the summer.
Could you use babyback ribs?
I don’t see why not :)
Love ribs. I always forget about putting them in the slow cooker. It’s a tool I should use more often.
