Tonto’s Spicy Apple BBQ Sauce

this is a friends sauce from another forum

Tonto from the BBQ Team, The SmokinScotsmen

3 baking Apples, peeled, cored and diced.
1/2 cup minced onion
2 cloves Garlic, pureed.
1 tbsp. Olive oil
1/2 cup Water
1 1/2 cups Ketchup
3/4 cup Cider vinegar
1/4 cup Molasses
1/2 cup Turbinado sugar
1/2 cup Cane syrup
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Cinnamon, ground
1 tsp. Nutmeg

1/4 cup cider vinegar, reserved.

I also add about a shot and a half of Jack Daniels -

In a saucepan over medium heat, sauté apples, onions and garlic in olive oil for 5 minutes till onions become translucent.
​

- Add water, reduce heat to low and simmer till apples dissolve, 20 minutes or so.

I love apples in a bbq. But what is 1/2 cup Turbinado sugar?

Turbinado sugar is similar in appearance to brown sugar but paler, with larger crystals, and in general the two can be exchanged freely in recipes. Turbinado sugar differs from refined white sugar in that it is obtained or crystallized from the initial pressing of sugar cane.
