The secret to these ribs lies in the complex spice blend, which features a tantalizing mix of brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, and cumin, balanced by a kick of cayenne pepper and a hint of cinnamon.

To achieve that coveted smoky taste, the ribs are slow-cooked on a grill or smoker, with regular basting using a homemade mop sauce made from apple cider, apple cider vinegar, and a dash of hot pepper sauce. The addition of soaked wood chips adds an authentic smokiness that elevates this dish to a true barbecue experience.
