Preheat your oven to 325Β°F (160Β°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, ground mustard, and olive oil.
Pat the country-style pork ribs dry with paper towels and place them in a large baking dish in a single layer.
Pour the maple glaze evenly over the ribs, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Add 1/2 cup of water to the bottom of the baking dish to help keep the ribs moist while cooking.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
Bake the ribs for 90 minutes, basting them with the glaze from the bottom of the dish every 30 minutes.
After 90 minutes, remove the foil from the baking dish and increase the oven temperature to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Bake uncovered for an additional 20-30 minutes, until the ribs are caramelized and tender.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, like mashed potatoes or roasted veggies, and enjoy!
