In a medium bowl, combine flour, flaxseed, coconut sugar, baking powder, apple pie spice, cinnamon, and salt. Stir, then set aside.
Wash a large apple and chop it into small, fine chunks about the size of a dime. If they are too thick and chunky, it may be harder to bake.
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Then add in the almond milk and stir.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until about half of the flour is incorporated. Then, fold in the chopped apple. Stir to combine the remaining flour. Be careful not to overmix.
Heat your waffle iron and spray with a non-stick cooking spray. Add ¼ to ½ cup of batter (depending on your equipment) and cook for 3 minutes or until there is no more steam coming from the waffle iron.
Remove the waffles from the waffle iron and repeat the process until all batter has been used. Top waffles with coconut whipped cream, apple slices, cinnamon, and pure maple syrup.
