What substitutions could I make?

You can make various substitutions in a caramel apple dump cake based on dietary preferences and ingredient availability. Here are some common substitutions:

1. Cake Mix: You can substitute the yellow cake mix with a white or spice cake mix for a different flavor. You can also use a gluten-free cake mix for a gluten-free version.
2. Butter: Instead of using butter, you can substitute it with margarine or a dairy-free butter alternative for a vegan or lactose-free option.
3. Apples: While the recipe calls for canned apple pie filling, you can use fresh or homemade apple pie filling if you prefer a less processed option. You can also use other fruit fillings like cherry or peach.
4. Spices: You can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
5. Toppings: Customize the toppings with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or a dairy-free alternative based on your dietary preferences.

When making substitutions, keep in mind that the flavor and texture of the final product may vary from the original recipe, so it’s a good idea to do a taste test to ensure you like the results.
