- 265 grams (1 3/4 cups + 2 tablespoons) all-purpose flour
- 6 grams (1 1/4 teaspoons) baking powder
- 6 grams (1 teaspoon) baking soda
- 2 grams (1 teaspoon) cinnamon
- 1 gram (1/4 teaspoon) nutmeg
- 3 grams (1/2 teaspoon) salt
- 160 grams (3/4 cup) dark brown sugar
- 2 egg yolks

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Bring the apple cider to a boil in a small saucepan, then reduce heat and simmer until it reduces to 120 grams (1/2 cup), about 20 minutes. Let it cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until mixed.
- In another bowl, whisk together dark brown sugar, egg yolks, sour cream, vanilla extract, oil, sourdough discard, and the reduced apple cider until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the quick bread cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- On a rimmed baking sheet, mix sugar and cinnamon. Brush melted butter on all sides of the loaf, then dip into the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Slice the bread and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
