Pork Ribs and Apples: A Tradition Full of Flavor

Pork ribs with apples are a traditional dish that combines the richness of the meat with the natural sweetness of the fruits, creating a delicious balance in every bite. This dish has its roots in German cuisine, where it is common to prepare pork ribs with sauerkraut and apples, typical ingredients that add flavor and texture.

In Latin America, this recipe has been adopted and adapted in several countries, although it may vary in names and styles. In Mexico and Venezuela, it is often called "Costillas a la sidra" or "Costillas con manzana," while in Argentina and Chile it is simply known as "Costillas al horno con manzanas." The fusion of ingredients reflects the European influence on Latin American cuisine, especially in the southern regions of the continent.

It is an ideal dish for special occasions, family celebrations, or simply to enjoy a comforting meal full of traditional flavors.
