Applesauce BBQ Spare Ribs

My husband has a slight obsession with ribs. He would be happy to eat them every day, much to the despise of my kids! To keep things interesting I try new recipes while still incorporating my husband's favorite Slow Cooker Coca-Cola Smoky BBQ Ribs.

Spread apple slices over ribs.

Pour sauce over ribs.

Cook on high 5 hours, or on low for 8 hours, until ribs are tender.
