Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped apples and nuts (if using).
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

For best results, use apples that hold their shape when baked, such as Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji.
Ensure apples are finely chopped to distribute evenly throughout the dough.
Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
