Recipe for bbq sauce.?

perhaps it was apple cider vinegar.

my favorite BBQ sauce is vinegar, ketchup and black pepper.

mix the vinegar and ketchup together. If it tastes like vinegar add more ketchup

if it tastes like ketchup add more vinegar

if it tastes like neither, you got it. Add black pepper until it tastes right

I am not familiar with this Apple Butter barbecue sauce but if I had to guess at the three ingredients they would equal parts Apple Butter and Ketchup plus some Worcestershire sauce or vinegar. I would probably add some chipotle or ancho chili powder for a bit of spice, but I doubt that was in the recipe.

Funny, I just made bbq sauce today. It's not the one you're thinking of, but it turned out great, sort of like "diana sauce"

two cups ketchup

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup apple cider vinegar

water as needed, maybe a few tablespoons

2 T worcestershire sauce

2 T prepared mustard

1 T onion powder

1 T garlic powder

1/2 tsp cayenne

Simmer gently until thickened, taste and adjust for sweet/sour/salty.

Food.com had one:1 cup smucker's cider apple butter (or your own)

1⁄2 cup ketchup

1 tablespoon prepared mustard

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

3 teaspoons liquid smoke

1⁄2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1⁄2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt

1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

1 cup finely chopped onion

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

1⁄2 teaspoon minced garlic

1⁄2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1⁄2 teaspoon paprika

Cook the onions until transluscent, add the garlic. simmer everything.

I typed bbq sauce made with apple butter, and got pages of recipes.

Ketchup, brown sugar and vinegar makes a quick and easy bbq sauce.
