🍎🔥 Rufus Teague Smoky Apple BBQ Sauce (15.25 oz) – Kansas City Sweet & Smoky with a Tangy Apple Twist
Enjoy the thick, rich flavors of Kansas City barbecue with a new twist… APPLE. Rufus Teague Smoky Apple BBQ Sauce blends classic sweet-and-smoky BBQ goodness with a bright pop of tangy apple to liven up every bite.
Like all Rufus Teague sauces, it’s slow-cooked longer for a richer, more intense flavor and a thicker texture (no watery shortcuts here). Built on a classic tomato base and sweetened with real sugar and molasses, this sauce gets its signature fruity kick from just the right amount of apple juice—bold enough to notice, balanced enough to keep it pure BBQ.
This one really shines on pork—think ribs, pulled pork, chops, and ham sandwiches—but it also makes an unreal bacon glaze. Brush it on, pour it over, or use it as a dip… your grill won’t judge.
How to Use: Brush, pour, or marinate on meats and veggies. Great for grilling, smoking, dipping, or glazing.
Amazing on: Pork ribs, pulled pork, pork chops, ham sandwiches, hot dogs, bacon (as a glaze), smoked meats, grilled vegetables
