Ingredients
For the Bread
- 2 cups apple cider
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon table salt
- 4 teaspoons apple pie spice
- 1 1/4 cup shredded apples (1 large apple)
For the Coating
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 5 tablespoons cinnamon sugar, divided
Instructions
- Reduce Apple Cider: Place apple cider in a pan on the stove, bring to a low boil, reduce heat, and simmer until it reduces in half. Let it cool.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9×5 bread pan by spraying with nonstick baking spray and sprinkling with 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar.
- Prepare Batter: Beat softened butter and sugars until creamy. Add egg, vanilla, and shredded apples; mix well. Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, spice, and 1 cup reduced apple cider. Gently mix until combined.
- Bake: Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 50-52 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs.
- Cool and Coat: Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Flip out and let cool for 1 hour. Brush the top with melted butter, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and let the coating set before slicing.
