In a large bowl (I use my stand mixer) combine 3 cups flour, instant yeast, cinnamon, and salt.
Add in warmed apple cider and butter. Mix together, adding in additional flour if needed.
Knead mixture for 7-10 minutes. Shape into a ball, place back into bowl, and let rise for an hour, until doubled.
After the dough has doubled, place onto counter and roll into a rectangle approximately 20 x 15 inches.
Spread the butter on the dough and top brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle with diced apple.
Cut into rectangles that will fit into your bread pan about 4"x 3"
Stack rectangles and place horizontally into your bread pan. Cover and allow to rise an 30 minutes.
Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
In a small bowl combine maple glaze ingredients. Adding enough heavy cream to get desired consistency.
Allow bread to cool for 15-20 minutes before removing from bread pan.
Pour frosting over the top and enjoy!
