Why does gravity cause all objects (regardless of mass) to accelerate equally?

I know this sounds dumb and its quite obvious that objects with different masses accelerate due to gravity at the same rate, but why? I would expect gravity to exert a fixed amount force on objects. 

I might be applying the equation wrong, but if Force = Mass x Acceleration, then each object experiences a different amount of force as they have different masses but equal acceleration.

This is the misunderstanding. In Newtonian physics, gravity exerts a force directly proportional to the masses of the two objects interacting. 

So for the Earth and any two objects, mass m and mass 2m, the gravitational attraction felt by the 2m mass will be twice as strong as that felt by the m mass.

Then all you have to do is go to your Force=mass*acceleration equation and see that your 2m object will feel the same resulting acceleration as the object mass m. Simply put, the object with twice the mass feels twice the force and therefore the same acceleration.
