Somethin' For Autumn – Warm Apple Bourbon BBQ Rub

Somethin’ For Autumn is a warm apple bourbon spice blend built for fall cooking and cool-weather grilling. It hits sweet first, thanks to brown sugar and molasses, then brings in that unmistakable apple aroma that reads like fresh cider on the first shake. As it sits on hot food, the flavor opens up into bourbon-caramel warmth, baking-spice depth, and a gentle smoky finish from chipotle.

This is not a novelty cinnamon rub and it’s not a dessert dusting. It’s a real barbecue rub and seasoning blend that works on meat, vegetables, and anything that benefits from sweet heat and smoke.

Use it when you want your pork chops, ribs, chicken thighs, or roasted sweet potatoes to taste like fall without tasting like a candle. It’s especially strong on pork and poultry, and it plays well with smoke from the grill or smoker. If you’re cooking indoors, it still performs. The sugar helps browning, the spice mix stays balanced, and you get a finish that tastes layered instead of “sweet plus heat.”

This one’s for people who like sweet-forward barbecue flavor with control. You can keep it subtle for weeknight chicken, or push it heavier for ribs and pulled pork. It also shines on plant-based cooking. Think roasted squash, carrots, Brussels sprouts, tofu, and even buttered popcorn if you want a weirdly good snack situation. Since it’s a Limited Edition run, it’s the kind of seasonal rub you stock while it’s here, then miss when it’s gone.


Flavor Profile

Sweet apple and molasses up front, bourbon-caramel warmth in the middle, then a smoky chipotle finish. Fall-style barbecue rub with baking-spice depth.

Ingredients

Granulated Brown Sugar, Granulated Molasses, Applewood Smoked Salt, Natural Apple Flavor (natural dextrose, natural flavors), Apple Cider Vinegar, Natural Bourbon Flavor (natural dextrose, natural flavors), Chipotle, Ginger, Caraway, Cardamom, Fennel Seed, Cinnamon, White Pepper, Allspice, Cloves

Suggested Uses

How to use it: For barbecue and grilling, start with about 1/2–1 tsp per pound, then rest 15–30 minutes before cooking so the rub can hydrate and grab. For roasting vegetables, use 1/4–1/2 tsp per pound with a little oil, then roast hot until browned. For finishing, dust lightly right after cooking and rest 2 minutes to let the aromatics bloom. Best paired with Somethin’ For Rubbin’ or Somethin’ Somethin’ Sauce.

Proteins - Pork chops, ribs, pulled pork, chicken thighs, turkey, ham, bacon, salmon

Plant-based - Sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, Brussels sprouts, roasted apples, tofu, tempeh

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Somethin’ For Autumn a BBQ rub or a seasoning?

Both. Use it as a barbecue rub for pork and chicken, or as a seasoning for roasted vegetables, sweet potatoes, and fall cooking.

How spicy is it?

Medium warmth. The chipotle shows up more on the finish than the first bite, and it won’t overpower the apple-bourbon profile.

Does it work on a smoker?

Yes. It was built for cool-weather grilling and smoking. Let it rest on the meat before cooking so it hydrates and forms better bark.

What meats does it work best on?

Pork is the easy win: chops, ribs, pulled pork, and ham. It’s also excellent on chicken thighs and turkey.

Is it gluten-free and vegan-friendly?

Yes. It’s gluten-free and vegan-friendly.
