5-Minute Food Processor Chocolate Apple Cake

Peel the apples if you prefer, although I challenge the fussiest eater to detect the peel in the finished cake. If using conventionally grown apples, I would peel the apples to reduce pesticide exposure.

I make this in my Thermomix, but the recipe will work just as well in a conventional food processor.
