Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the rice flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are frothy.
Add the low-fat milk, vanilla extract, and apple sauce to the egg whites, and whisk until all wet ingredients are combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Lightly coat the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the waffles from sticking.
Pour about a 1/4 cup of the batter into the center of the preheated waffle iron and close the lid.
Cook for about 4-5 minutes or until the waffle is golden brown and cooked through. Timing can vary based on your waffle iron.
Remove the waffle carefully using a spatula and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm, optionally topped with fresh fruits, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of yogurt.
