Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and apple pie spice.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the apple butter, egg, and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix together the ¼ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
Scoop the chilled dough into 1 ½ tablespoon-sized balls, roll each in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set and lightly golden.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
