How to Make a Chocolate Apple Cake
This Apple German Chocolate Cake couldn’t be easier to make! First, we placed the apple pie filling into a blender, chopping down to 1/4 inch pieces.
Then, we added the cake mix and eggs, and mixed for five minutes. We poured the batter into the prepared pan, sprinkled with nuts and chocolate chips, and baked for 40 minutes.
Allow the cake to cool a bit before slicing and serving. You will love this moist, light, and flavorful cake!
We hope that you enjoy this Chocolate Apple Cake as much as we have! Keep it in mind the next time you need something quick and chocolatey!
