Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray an 8 ½ x 4 ½-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, apple pie spice, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the apple cider, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until combined; do not overmix.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly.

Bake for 65-75 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs.

Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to cool completely.

While warm, pour additional apple cider over the bread to enhance flavor.

Mix granulated sugar and apple pie spice in a bowl and coat the bread once cooled.

Let cool completely before slicing.
