2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 c. pitted dates
1/2 c. butter, room temp.
1/3 c. packed brown sugar
2 lg. eggs
1 c. finely chopped peeled apple
1/2 c. apple juice

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 18 muffin cups. Mix flour, bran, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, baking soda and sates. Beat the butter, sugar and eggs in a separate bowl until well blended. Add flour mixture, apple, apple juice and milk and mix only until dry ingredients are moist; the batter will be lumpy. Bake 15 to 20 minutes.
