Mix flour, baking powder, and cinnamon together in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine, eggs, coconut oil, ⅓ cup maple syrup, vanilla, milk, and applesauce.
Incorporate wet ingredients into dry, until a dough forms. Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, pulse figs and 1 tablespoon maple syrup in a food processor.
The fig filling should be about the consistency of peanut butter.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll dough onto parchment paper in a ¼ inch rectangle.
Spread filling over half of dough and fold in half. Seal edges.
Bake for 12-15 minutes. Slice with a pizza cutter into squares.
