Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and brown sugar until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the milk, applesauce, grated apple, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; some small lumps are fine.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick spray or a small amount of melted butter.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle iron (amount will vary based on your waffle maker). Close the lid and cook according to the waffle ironβs instructions until golden brown and crisp, usually 4-6 minutes.
Carefully remove the waffles and place them on a wire rack to prevent them from becoming soggy. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh apple slices, or a dollop of whipped cream.
