According to Newton's law of gravitation,every object attracts every other object means if the Earth attracts an apple towards it,then an apple also attracts the Earth with the same force,then why an apple falls down but the earth doen not move towards the apple?

According to Newton's law of gravitation, every object attracts every other object. Thus, if the earth attract an apple towards itself, the apple also attracts the earth towards itself with the same force. Why then does the apple fall toward the earth, but the earth does not move towards the apple ?
