- In another bowl, whisk together BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar until well combined.
Cooking
- Lay the seasoned ribs in the bottom of the crockpot.
- Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the ribs, ensuring every piece is coated.
- Secure the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
- Check for tenderness by ensuring the meat pulls away from the bone easily.

Notes
For a variation, try teriyaki sauce or adding hot sauce for spiciness. Ribs taste better the next day, making them great for meal prep.
