How to Make Chocolate Topped Apple Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. In a medium bowl, combine the apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  7. Gently fold the apples into the batter.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  9. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, chocolate chips, and melted butter for the topping. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.
  10. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving. For best results, let it sit overnight.
