  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
  3. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, apple cider, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine Everything: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Bake: Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Make the Cinnamon Sugar Crust: Mix cinnamon and sugar in a bowl. Brush melted butter over the baked loaf and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously on top.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the loaf and serve warm for a delightful treat.

Notes

  • This loaf is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
  • Feel free to add chopped nuts or dried fruit to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
