For the Poached Figs
1 1/2 cups apple cider plus 1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons maple or 1/2cup light-brown sugar
6 tablespoons pure maple syrup
4 strips orange peel (each about 3 inches long), plus 2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
2 (about 3-inch-long) cinnamon sticks

For the Spiced Goat cheese
1 cup (8 ounces) soft goat cheese, room temperature
1 tablespoon maple or 2 tablespoons light-brown sugar

1
Heat apple cider, water, sugar, maple syrup, orange strips, grated zest and cinnamon sticks in a large saute pan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar and maple syrup have dissolved, about 3 minutes.

Raise heat to medium-high, and bring syrup to a boil. Cook until syrup has reduced and thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Return figs to pan, and gently toss with syrup to coat.

Puree goat cheese, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of sea or kosher salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cream in a food processor. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the goat cheese cream into each bowl. Divide figs among bowls, and drizzle with syrup.
