Family Favorite! Apple Roasted Farmhouse Ribs
These Farmhouse Ribs are hearty country style ribs that cook for hours in your oven with sweet apples and onions in a tangy sauce.
Ribs are a huge family favorite of ours (…but let’s be real here, aren’t they everyone’s favorite?) On a cold and rainy winter day, I’m all for making my oven do the work for me. Long, slow, oven cooked meals not only keep the kitchen warm and toasty but also let aromas fill the house.
These ribs are hearty country style rib that cooks for hours in your oven with sweet apples and onions in a tangy sauce. I found this recipe on a mailer postcard, of all things, when I first got married more than 15 years ago and it’s one of the few recipes I’ve never even altered a single thing about it…It’s simply that good!
The result is a tender and flavorful thick rib that took only 15 minutes of work. Pair them with a great rice pilaf or scalloped potatoes (might as well, the oven is already warm and available) and bright steamed garlic butter broccoli and dinner couldn’t be more cozy. Start a fire in the fireplace, put your slippers on, pour a lovely glass of red wine and curl up for the night! You’ve got dinner covered!
