Method

1. Combine the oats, flour, baking soda, and nutmeg, and stir to mix well. Add the applesauce, sugar, and vanilla extract, and stir to mix well. Stir in the raisins.
2. Coat cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, and place the balls 1½ inches apart on the cookie sheets. (If the dough is too sticky to handle, place it in the freezer for a few minutes.) Using the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar, flatten the cookies into ¼ inch thickness.
3. Bake at 275 F for 22 minutes, or until lightly browned. Transfer the cookies to wire racks, and cool completely. Serve immediately, or transfer to an airtight container and arrange in single layers separated by sheets of waxed paper.
