• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
• In a large mixing bowl, add the brown sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla extract and beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
  1 cup light brown sugar, ½ cup canola oil, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the batter and mix until just barely combined. (be careful not to over mix. (the batter will be thick).
  2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon nutmeg
• Add in the applesauce mix until incorporated, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula and mix again in needed.
  1 cup unsweetened applesauce
• Pour the batter into the baking dish.

Make the crumb topping.

• In a medium mixing bowl, add all of the topping ingredients and mix together. I use my hands to work the butter well and all the ingredients are moistened.
  ¾ cup quick oats, ¾ cup all-purpose flour, ⅓ cup light brown sugar, 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• Sprinkle the topping all over the batter evenly.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
