In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Set aside.
3️⃣ Cream the Butter & Sugars
In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each.
Stir in vanilla extract and applesauce.
