Ingredients

Scale
  • 1–½ cups fresh apple cider
  • 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup lightly packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup light olive oil (or other neutral oil)
  • ¼ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1–¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1–½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1–½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • Pinch allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9” square baking dish and line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large sauté pan, boil the apple cider until reduced by half (approximately 5 minutes). Measure to ensure it’s about ¾ cup; whisk in the cold butter until melted.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, sugars, oil, sour cream, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the boiled cider to the wet mixture; stir until combined.
  5. Gently fold in flour until just mixed; do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared dish and smooth the top. Bake for 22–25 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool for 5 minutes on a rack before brushing melted butter on top and sprinkling with a cinnamon-sugar mixture.
