Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and coat a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray, lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan, bring apple cider to a gentle boil and reduce to ½ cup, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  3. Combine reduced apple cider, sour cream, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Melt unsalted butter, let cool slightly, and add to mixture.
  4. Beat eggs and brown sugar until light and frothy, about 3 minutes.
  5. Slowly drizzle in melted butter and mix in apple cider mixture until combined.
  6. Whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a separate bowl. Fold into wet ingredients.
  7. Pour batter into loaf pan and bake for approximately 55 minutes, checking with a toothpick.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Brush with melted butter and roll in sugar mixed with cinnamon.
