Instructions
To make the bread:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Core and slice the apples.
Cook the apples and 1 1/2 cups of apple cider in a saucepan over medium heat until the apples are tender, about 8-10 minutes. Uncover and simmer for another 10-15 minutes.
Puree the apples and cider with a blender. You should have about a cup of applesauce. Set aside
In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until dissolved. Add the eggs and vanilla and stir well.
Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the butter mixture. Stir until smooth.
Fold in the apple sauce and sour cream.
Pour the batter into a loaf pan and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool on a wire rack before removing from the pan.
To make the glaze and topping:
Simmer 1 cup of apple cider in a saucepan over medium heat until it reduces to 1/4 cup. Sift in powdered sugar and whisk until smooth making a glaze.
Combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl.
Remove the cooled bread from the loaf pan and spread a thin layer of apple cider glaze onto the loaf.
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the top of the glaze. Placing the loaf on a cookie sheet helps to catch any stray sugar.
