This recipe leans into one of the most classic pairings in cooking: pork and apples. Fresh apple cider is reduced, intensifying natural sugars, acids, and even tannins, for a rich and rounded BBQ sauce. The result isn’t overtly “appley,” but balanced and layered, with just enough fruit to lift the richness of slow-cooked pork.
Finished under the broiler for caramelized edges, this is the kind of dish that tastes far more complex than its method suggests.
