How can I restrict those connected apps with full access to my folders to the only folder to which they need access?

You can't. This is a choice made by the developer when they create their app. The developer chooses either App Folder access or Full Dropbox access, depending on what their app needs. You as a user can either agree to that access when connecting the app to your account, or choose not to use the app.
