**Directions:**

1. **Preheat the Oven:**
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan to prevent sticking.

2. **Mix the Dry Ingredients:**
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.

3. **Mix the Wet Ingredients:**
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth. Stir in the apple cider and vanilla extract, mixing well.

4. **Combine the Mixtures:**
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender loaf.

5. **Bake the Loaf:**
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. **Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Crust:**
While the loaf is baking, mix the cinnamon and sugar for the crust in a small bowl. Once the loaf is baked and slightly cooled, brush the top with melted butter and sprinkle generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture.

7. **Serve:**
Slice the loaf and enjoy this cozy fall treat with a warm cup of tea or coffee!
