Normally, she wouldn’t eat an apple at home for three months, but when it comes to apple-baked ribs, she can finish an entire plate.
The preparation isn’t complex; just prepare the barbecue sauce, put the apples and ribs into the air fryer, and soon the whole room will be filled with the aroma of fruit and the savory scent of roasting meat, making you drool even before you start eating.
The sweet and sour taste of the apple seeps into the ribs, giving them a subtly sweet flavor, aromatic but not greasy. Interestingly, the roasted apples also taste quite good, better than eating them alone.
Plus, it looks impressive, making it a perfect dish for family gatherings.
