Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
• 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Honey (optional for sweetness)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked salt (or regular salt if unavailable)
• 0.125 teaspoon Clove powder
• 2 tablespoons Filtered water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the unsweetened applesauce, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, and honey (if using). Stir until well blended.

Step 2

Add the garlic powder, onion powder, ground ginger, smoked salt, clove powder, and filtered water to the saucepan. Mix thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. This will also help the flavors meld together.

Step 5

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or a touch of honey for additional sweetness if desired.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the BBQ sauce to cool for a few minutes.

Step 7

Once cooled, transfer the sauce to a jar or airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Step 8

Use this AIP BBQ Sauce as a marinade, dipping sauce, or glaze for your favorite AIP-compliant proteins or vegetables. Enjoy!
