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
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1–½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • 1–¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon butter, at cool room temperature
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9” square baking dish and line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large sauté pan, boil fresh apple cider until reduced by half (about 5 minutes). Whisk in diced butter until melted.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, sugars, olive oil, sour cream, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, allspice, and salt. Gradually mix in the hot cider mixture.
  4. Fold in all-purpose flour until just combined to avoid overmixing.
