- Combine Dry Ingredients: Add all of the dry ingredients to the mixture along with the reduced apple cider. Stir by hand until just combined.
- Bake: Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
- Cool: Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
- Transfer to Cooling Rack: Remove the bread to a cooling rack set over a sheet pan.
- Brush with Butter: Brush the top and sides of the bread with melted butter.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Topping: Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
