Apple Cider Glaze

  • 1 1/2 cups apple cider
  • 2 cups powdered confectioner's sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1 Tbsp. heavy cream

Instructions

  • Combine flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt and ground cinnamon together. Mix in pure vanilla extract, eggs, applesauce, melted butter and diced apples.

Apple Cider Glaze

  • Bring apple cider to a rolling simmer. Continue to simmer until reduced by half. Remove from heat and stir in powdered sugar and ground cinnamon. If the glaze is thick and coats your spoon, then add 1 Tbsp. heavy cream. If it seems to be still too thin, continue to simmer until thickened.
