							Preheat the 
							oven to 350° F. Grease an 8-inch square 
							baking pan.
 Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking 
							soda, and salt into a large bowl. In a medium bowl, 
							whisk the melted butter, buttermilk, and sugar until 
							smooth. Blend in the eggs and vanilla. Pour the 
							liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and mix with 
							a rubber spatula until thoroughly combined. Stir in 
							the chocolate chips and apples and spoon into the 
							prepared pan. Bake for 50 minutes or until a tester 
							comes out clean (check in several places as the 
							chocolate chips will be moist when the cake is 
							done).
 
 Meanwhile, stir the water and sugar in a bowl until 
							dissolved. When the cake is removed from the oven, 
							leave in pan and place on a wire rack. Pierce the 
							top in several places with a cocktail stick. Restir 
							the sugar glaze and slowly drizzle over the cake. 
							All to set for 15 minutes, turn out onto rack and 
							cool completely.
