Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan by greasing and lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • Bring the apple cider to a boil in a small saucepan, then reduce to low heat and let it simmer until reduced to 120 grams (1/2 cup), about 20 minutes.
  • Let the apple cider cool in a measuring cup for at least 10 minutes.

Mixing Ingredients

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until mixed.
  • In another bowl, whisk together dark brown sugar, egg yolks, sour cream, vanilla extract, oil, sourdough discard, and the reduced apple cider until smooth.

Baking

  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Allow the quick bread to cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Coating

  • On a rimmed baking sheet, mix sugar and cinnamon together. Brush melted butter on all sides of the loaf and let soak in for 30-60 seconds.
  • Dip each side into the cinnamon sugar mixture, pressing it on gently.

Serving
