Position rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 425°F.  Coat
12 muffin cups with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, stir together bran, flours, baking powder, baking
soda and salt. Stir in raisins, dates and dried apricots. In a
separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, molasses, apple butter, egg

mixture just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups. (They will be
nearlly full.) Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a cake tester
inserted in the center comes out clean. Turn the muffins out onto a
rack and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
