Directions:
Place freeze dried apples into a food processor and grind until powdery. It's fine to have some tiny visible bits of apple. You should get about 1/2 cup of powder. Set aside.
Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, cream of tartar, salt and apple pie spice or cinnamon together in a medium bowl until well combined. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat butter and sugars on medium speed until well combined and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add egg and apple powder all together then beat on low until well combined.
Gradually add flour, beating on lowest setting, scraping sides as necessary, until mixture is combined and no streaks of flour remain. Stir in toffee chips until combined.
Press a piece of plastic wrap right onto the surface of the dough to cover it and protect it from drying out. Then, refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour or until firm enough to roll.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix coating ingredients (sugar and cinnamon) until well blended. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Remove dough from refrigerator and using about 2 Tablespoons per cookie, roll into balls. Then, roll each ball in cinnamon sugar, coating all surfaces of the cookie.
Place cookies a couple of inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are nicely golden. Rotate cookies half way through baking.
Cool for 10 minutes on cookie sheet. Then transfer to a rack to finish cooling. Once completely cool, store in an airtight container at room temperature.
