Cake Mix - Dump cakes can be adapted using chocolate cake mix, gluten-free cake mix or any flavor that you enjoy. Butter pecan cake mix is another flavor that's tasty with apples.
Pie Filling - You could adapt this recipe using two cans of peach pie filling or two cans of cherry pie filling. Use a quality brand of pie filling for the best result.
Homemade Apple Pie Filling - See my recipe for Apple Pie Filling to make your own.
Nuts - You can use walnuts or almonds in place of the pecans.
The purpose of the paper towels is to absorb the condensation that forms on the lid and prevent it from dropping back onto the cake.
Butterscotch Sauce - The butterscotch sauce is optional but it adds another dimension to this easy apple cake. It can be made in advance, chilled and rewarmed, if desired. It will solidify when cooled so reheat it gently in the microwave or in a saucepan over medium heat. You could also use a warm caramel ice cream sauce and turn it into a caramel apple dump cake. You could also use warm caramel.
