You can add some chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, to the cake mix layer for some extra crunch and flavor. You can also sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on top of the butter layer for some extra sweetness and spice.

You can store any leftovers of this apple dump cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
