Cinnamon (optional)
To mix with icing sugar

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with oil.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Beat them together until the mixture becomes frothy and well combined. Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth and creamy mixture.

3. Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, and a pinch of salt. Make sure the dry ingredients are thoroughly mixed to ensure even distribution.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring constantly to create a smooth dough. The dough should be thick but still pliable, so adjust the flour quantity if necessary to achieve the desired consistency.
5. Incorporate the Apples
Fold the diced apples into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect apple flavor in every bite.
6. Shape the Cookies
Using a tablespoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. This will allow the cookies to spread evenly without sticking together.
7. Bake the Cookies
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown and the centers are set. The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the cookies as they bake.
8. Cool and Dust
Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, dust the cooled cookies with icing sugar mixed with a pinch of cinnamon for an extra flavor boost.
