Instant Pot Apple BBQ Ribs
Make a big batch of these three ingredient instant pot apple bbq ribs in just an hour! They come out fall off the bone tender and perfectly sticky sweet.
Instant Pot Apple BBQ Ribs are the reason why I bought an instant pot electric pressure cooker in the first place. I wanted to cook large cuts of meat in a short period of time. I was not disappointed by this recipe.
These pressure cooker ribs come out perfectly tender and replacing the water with apple juice gives them an extra special flavor. We also love making pulled pork and ham in our instant pot!

I had not made ribs before owning an instant pot and I was impressed by how easy it was to make.
