CHOCOLATE TOPPED APPLE CAKE
The slighty crispy, chocolate chip topping on this cake is the best part! It makes a great dessert, snack cake or coffee cake. You can use either miniature or regular chocolate chips; the miniature just tend to cover the cake better, but I usually use the regular, and never had a complaint yet! I would also suggest letting the cake sit overnight. The flavors mellow, and it's even better!
