In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, applesauce, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well combined.
Scoop out 2 tablespoon-sized portions* of dough, roll into a ball and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with a fork or the back of a spoon.
