Maple Cranberry with Goat Cheese Filling Recipe

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup crumbled (about 3 oz) dried cranberry-covered goat cheese, softened (alternately, add 2 Tbsp dried cranberries to 3 oz plain goat cheese)
• 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup
• 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups white whole wheat flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 large eggs
• 1 large egg white
• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
• 1 tsp maple extract
• 1 cup milk (I used skim, but buttermilk, 1%, or non-dairy milk would suffice)
• 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 cup dried cranberries
