Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups (219 g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (272 g) apple butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup milk
Apple Cider Glaze
- ½ cup (62.5 g) confectioners' sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider, plus more as needed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, melted butter, apple butter, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Start checking at 50 minutes. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely tent the loaf with foil during the last 10 to 15 minutes of baking.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Use the parchment to lift it out and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze, whisk the confectioners' sugar and apple cider until smooth. Add a little more cider if needed to reach a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over the cooled bread.
