Meat rub spice mix with dried apples

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp. sliced ​​dried apples
• 1.5 tsp black peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon whole allspice
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons coarse salt
• 1 tbsp. sweet paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Preparation:

1. Using a spice grinder, grind the dried apples into a powder. (A drier powder is better for rubbing on meat and won't clump.) Transfer to a bowl.
2. Grind peppercorns, coriander seeds and allspice into powder and add it to the apple powder.
3. Add sugar, salt, paprika, ginger, and cinnamon to the apple powder mixture and mix well. If not using the rubbing mixture immediately, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 30 days.
