Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring 1 cup of apple cider to a gentle simmer. Reduce until about ½ cup, approximately 15-20 minutes. Cool slightly.
  2. Combine melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Whisk in eggs, sour cream, vanilla, and cooled cider until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  5. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and pour batter evenly. Smooth the top.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 45-50 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and brush the top with melted butter, sprinkling with cinnamon sugar.
