# Detailed Cooking Steps:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 175°C. Lightly grease or spray an 8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, apple pie spice, and salt until evenly blended.
03 -
In a separate bowl, whisk apple cider, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
04 -
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. The batter should remain slightly runny; avoid overmixing.
05 -
Pour batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
06 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 65 to 75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs and the top is golden brown.
07 -
Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. While warm, pour 60 milliliters of apple cider over the loaf still in the pan.
08 -
Mix granulated sugar with apple pie spice in a small bowl to create the topping mixture.
09 -
Carefully remove the loaf from the pan onto parchment paper. Evenly sprinkle the sugar-spice mixture over the entire surface, rotating the loaf to coat all sides.
10 -
Allow the loaf to cool completely on the parchment before slicing to serve.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Use a room temperature egg for a more homogeneous batter. Avoid overmixing to maintain tender texture. Baking times may vary; test doneness with a toothpick.
