Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Fold in the finely chopped apple, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
