1. Cut the rib racks in half and put them in a large pot, cover well with water, bring to the boil and simmer until they start to fall off the bone this might take up to 90 minutes.

2. Meanwhile put the butter into a saucepan and cook it over a medium heat until it starts to spit and foam. Watch it carefully. It will quieten and start to change colour. At this point add the cinnamon and sugar, swiftly followed by the apples.

3. Continue to cook the apples for 10 minutes or so, smushing them as they cook until they become a pulp. Remove from the heat and you can blend with a hand blender if you choose or leave it a little lumpy.

4. When ready to serve, take the ribs from the hot water, drain and divide onto plates.

5. Drizzle the maple syrup over the ribs and serve with the warm apple sauce and sour cream on the side.
