Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 ½ cups apple cider preferably fresh
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • ½ tsp salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a small saucepan, reduce the apple cider over medium heat until it thickens slightly—about 10-15 minutes. Let it cool.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, cooled apple cider, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended.
  5. Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Baking
  1. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Cool the bread in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

For a delicious twist, try drizzling with icing made from powdered sugar or adding chopped nuts for a crunchy texture. Store wrapped in tissue or an airtight container for 4-5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
