  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Stir in 1 cup applesauce and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine 3 cups rolled oats, 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto greased or parchment-lined cookie sheets.
