Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray eighteen 2 3/4-inch muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk and cereal; let stand 5 minutes.

Meanwhile in a medium bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

Add the sugar, prunes, egg and oil to the cereal mixture; mix well with a wooden spoon. Stir in the dates, apples and the flour mixture until just combined (do not overmix).

Spoon the batter evenly into the cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on a rack 10 minutes; remove from the cups and cool completely on the rack.
