--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/2   c            Pitted prunes
   2       tb           Water
   1 2/3   c            Unbleached all-purpose flour
     1/2   c            Old-fashioned oatmeal
     1/2   c            Brown sugar -- firmly packed
   1       tb           Baking powder
     1/4   ts           Salt -- optional
   1 1/2   ts           Ground cinnamon
     1/2   c            Skim milk
     1/4   c            Maple syrup
   2                    Egg whites
   1       c            Apples -- chopped

  Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

  Place prunes and water in a food processor or blender and puree.

  Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt (if using),
  and cinnamon in a bowl.

  In a separate bowl, beat together the prune puree, milk, maple
  syrup, egg whites and apples.

  Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until the dry
  ingredients are moistened.

  Transfer batter to nonstick or paper lined muffin cups, or to
  muffin cups lightly sprayed with vegtable cooking spray. Bake
  20-30 minutes until muffin tops are lightly browned and a wooden
  toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean.

  NOTE: You can substitute 1/3 cup commercially prepared pureed
  prunebaby food of prune butter (found in jam & jelly of baking
  section of your supermarket for the prune puree) the baby food
  prune jars you will need 2 2/2 oz jars and the prune butter will
  add extra calories to the added sugars in the mixture. I used the
  baby food prunes and it worked quite well.
