In a medium saucepan, combine the yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, and brown sugar. Stir well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture starts to simmer.
Add Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir again to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Pour in the water to thin the sauce slightly. Stir until fully incorporated.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature.
Transfer the sauce to a clean jar or bottle and refrigerate. For best flavor, let it sit for a few hours or overnight before using.
Use the sauce as a marinade, baste, or dipping sauce. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
