Main Instructions

• Add the apple cider to a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, about 20-30 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool while the oven preheats.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter or grease a 9×5 loaf pan.
• Add the butter and brown sugar to a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined.
• Add all of the dry ingredients to the mixture along with the reduced apple cider. Stir by hand until just combined.
• Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
• Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
• Remove the bread to a cooling rack set over a sheet pan.
• Brush the top and sides of the bread with melted butter.
• Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Sprinkle liberally over the top and sides of the bread to coat, letting excess cinnamon sugar fall to the pan below.
• Let cool for 1 hour before slicing and serving.
