DIRECTIONS
  1. For filling, combine the cream cheese, sugar, flour and egg whites in a bowl; set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat the pumpkin, applesauce, egg, egg whites and oil. Combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves; add to the pumpkin mixture. Stir in walnuts.
  2. Divide half of batter between two 8-in. x 4-in. x 2-in. loaf pans coated with non-stick cooking spray. Spread each with bottom layer of batter, then filling; top with remaining batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire rack to cool completely. Refrigerate leftovers.
