Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the brown rice flour and baking powder. Stir until evenly distributed.
Add the unsweetened applesauce and water to the dry ingredients. Mix well to form a soft, slightly sticky dough.
Lightly dust a clean work surface with a small amount of rice flour. Roll the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness using a rolling pin.
Cut the dough into desired shapes using a knife or cookie cutter. Simple rectangles or ovals work well for small hands.
Place the shapes onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the crackers are firm to touch.
Allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving or storing.
Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
