Recipe Talk

I'm looking for a muffin recipe I used to have when I owned the great american recipe card club collection. Not the McCall, but the ones that came in the clear container with red tabs at the top, they were about 4 inches high and 8 inches across. Anyway, I remember the muffins had grated apple and dates in it and used both whole wheat flour and regular flour. Anyone have it?

Thanks, Paul

I have cinnamon, Maui, walnut crunch, richmond sunday morning, peanutbutter and jelly, peanutbutter and honey, zucchini, raisin bran, rye walnut, banana oatmeal Muffins....................
