Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
Remove the membrane from the back of the spareribs and pat them dry with paper towels.
Mix salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl to create the rub.
Rub the spice mixture generously over both sides of the ribs.
Wrap the ribs in aluminum foil, sealing tightly, and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours until the ribs are tender.
While the ribs bake, prepare the peach glaze: In a saucepan, combine peach preserves, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
After the ribs have baked, remove them from the oven and unwrap them carefully (be cautious of hot steam).
Increase oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
Brush the ribs generously with the peach glaze on both sides and place them on a baking sheet lined with foil.
Return the ribs to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, brushing with more glaze halfway through, until the glaze is caramelized and sticky.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with extra peach glaze on the side for dipping.
