Step-by-Step Instructions for Spiced Apple Cider Biscotti
- Begin by pouring 2 cups of fresh apple cider into a medium saucepan. Bring the cider to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer for about 25 minutes until it thickens down to about 1/2 cup.
- While the cider cools, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of ground allspice, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter and 3/4 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes, then add in 2 large eggs one at a time.
- Gradually stir in the boiled apple cider, blending until just combined, then slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Divide the dough into two equal pieces and shape each into logs about 10-12 inches long, 4 inches wide on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for approximately 25 minutes until the logs are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Let the logs cool for 10 minutes before slicing into 1-inch slices and lay them cut-side down on the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Transfer the biscotti slices to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of boiled apple cider until smooth and drizzle over the cooled biscotti.
