Gluten Free Apple Cider Doughnut Bread
 
 
Ingredients
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 8 ounces (about 1 ½ cups) All-Purpose Gluten-Free flour blend
  • ¾ tsp. xanthan gum (if not included in flour blend)
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • ½ tsp. allspice
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 8.5 ounces ( about 1 cup) unsweetened apple sauce
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 5.25 oz. (¾ cup)white sugar
  • 2.5 ounces (about ¼ cup plus 2 tbsp. packed) dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • For the topping:
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/75 ounces (¼ cup) white sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp. Butter, melted
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350℉. Butter or oil a 9-by-5 inch loaf pan, then line with parchment paper so that there is an overhang on each side.
  2. Bring cider to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until cider is reduced to ⅓ cup, about 8 - 10 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the cider to cool for at least 5 minutes while you work on the rest of the recipe.
  3. Combine flour, xanthan gum (if using), spices, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the apple sauce and vegetable oil. Whisk in sugars. Add eggs one at a time, then whisk in vanilla and reduced apple cider.
  5. Fold dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, then pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Bake for approximately 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  7. While the Apple Cider Loaf cools, mix together a pinch of salt, ¼ cup white sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon in a small bowl. Using parchment paper, lift the Apple Cider Bread onto the cooling rack and set the rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Peel away parchment from the sides. Brush melted butter over top and sides of the loaf. Sprinkle generously with sugar mixture to coat every surface (use parchment to help rotate cake and collect any excess sugar). Remove parchment and let cool completely before slicing.
