Can I use a different cake mix?

Step 3: Grease a 9×13 baking dish and add the apple filling into it in an even layer. Pour the cake mix batter over the apples, spreading it out evenly over the top.

Step 4: Bake the cake mix apple cobbler at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes, or until it is golden brown on top and the apple filling is bubbly around the edges.
