Crabby Apple BBQ Sauce - Sweet

Crabby Apple BBQ Sauce - Wisconsin's Tangy Apple BBQ Sauce

Crabby Apple BBQ Sauce is our signature tangy apple barbecue sauce, inspired by the corner of Crabapple & Thornapple in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. We blend 100% real apple juice with a carefully balanced mix of seasonings to create a sauce that's simultaneously tangy, sweet, and boldly flavorful—a true taste of Wisconsin orchards on your plate.

What Makes Crabby Apple Special

It starts with real apples. Not apple-flavored anything—we use 100% pure apple juice to bring bright, crisp fruit notes to this Wisconsin BBQ sauce. The natural tartness from the apples creates a perfect counterbalance to the sweetness, resulting in a sauce with incredible depth of flavor.

Unlike mass-produced grocery store sauces that rely on high-fructose corn syrup and artificial flavors, Crabby Apple delivers clean, honest flavor. You taste the apples first—bright and tangy—followed by a subtle sweetness and a blend of aromatic spices that complement rather than overpower your meat. It's BBQ sauce the way it should be: simple, authentic, and made with ingredients you can pronounce.

How to Use Crabby Apple BBQ Sauce

Best Applications:

- Pulled Pork: Mix into shredded pork or brush on during the last hour of smoking for a gorgeous glaze
- Pork Chops: Brush on during the final minutes of grilling for caramelized apple flavor
- Grilled Chicken: Perfect for chicken thighs, breasts, or wings—the tangy apple pairs beautifully with poultry
- Ribs: Glaze during the last 30 minutes for a sticky, flavorful finish
- Burgers: Use as a finishing sauce or mix into ground turkey for apple-infused burgers
- Dipping Sauce: Excellent with chicken tenders, sweet potato fries, or as a unique wing sauce
- Roasted Vegetables: Brush on Brussels sprouts, carrots, or root vegetables before roasting
