I really like John Henry's Apple rub, so I thought that I'd try my hand at making my own using the Pig's Worst Nightmare recipe. Made it this past weekend and used it on an 8 lb. butt. It was really good. Here is the recipe:
Pigs Worst Nightmare Apple Rub
6 Tbsp Ground Dried apple
3 Tbsp Brown Sugar
3 Tbsp Turbinado Sugar
3 Tbsp Coarse Salt
1 Tsp Sweet Paprika
1 Tsp Garlic Powder
½ Tsp Ground Black Pepper
You can try to make apple powder on your own by very thinly slicing apples and baking them in a 250 degree oven for a couple of hours or you can take the lazy man's route and buy apple powder online. I chose the latter. Here is a site where you can buy apple powder: http://www.naturesflavors.com/product_info.php/products_id/4327
