This bread is tasty and smells wonderful when toasted.  It’s also a good way to use up extra apple cider.

Note that while most of the recipes on the site are for a two-pound machine, this recipe makes a 1.5 pound loaf.

What is Apple Cider Anyway?

In the United States and Canada, apple cider refers to an unfiltered, unsweetened, non-alcoholic beverage made from apples.  That’s what’s used in this recipe.

In other parts of the world, “cider” can mean an alcoholic beverage made from apples.  Here in the US, we call that “hard cider”.

Making Apple Cider Cinnamon Bread 

This recipe makes a 1.5 pound loaf.  Use the basic or white setting with medium crust.

Follow the instructions that came with your bread machine in terms of which ingredients to put in the bread machine first.

It’s always a good idea to check on the bread after five or ten minutes of kneading.  Just pop the top of the bread machine and see how the dough is doing.  It should be a smooth, round ball.  If it’s too dry add liquid a teaspoon at a time until it looks right.  If it looks too wet,  add flour a tablespoon at a time until it looks right.
