In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir to mix all the ingredients well.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and cover the saucepan with a lid.
Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened and slightly broken down.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Let the applesauce cool slightly until warm but not piping hot.
To assemble the sundae, place one scoop of vanilla ice cream into a serving dish or bowl.
Top the ice cream with a generous spoonful of the warm applesauce.
Sprinkle granola over the applesauce for added crunch.
Drizzle with caramel sauce if desired and serve immediately.
