2 cups all-purpose flour4 teaspoons baking powder1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar1/4 teaspoon salt1/8 cup margarine1/8 cup applesauce3/4 cup fat-free milk or light soymilk (fat free dairy milk is used in nutrition calculation; the caloric count is essentially the same but the ratio of c:p:f changes with the utilization of soymilk)2 tablespoons Splenda (6 teaspoons, or 1/8 cup)1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F
2. With nonstick cook spray, lightly coat twelve 2 1/2-inch muffin cups; set aside.

4. Using a pastry blender or blunt knife, cut in margarine until mixture consists of coarse crumbs.
5. Make a well in center of mixture and add milk.
6. Stir JUST UNTIL dough clings together (for tender biscuits do not overwork dough!).
7. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and knead by folding and gently pressing dough for 10 to 12 strokes or until dough is nearly smooth.
8. Divide dough in half and roll one portion into a 12x10-inch rectangle.
9. In a small bowl combine the splenda and the cinnamon; sprinkle some of this mixture over the rectangle.
10. Cut the rectangle into five 12x2-inch strips.
11. Stack the strips on top of each other; cut into six 2-inch square stacks.
12. Place each stack, cut side down, into a prepared muffin cup (shape will resemble a fan).
13. Repeat steps 9-12 with remaining half of dough and Splenda mixture.
