I want to duplicate an existing Slack App with only some minor configuration changes.
Is there an easier way to do this other than creating a new slack app from scratch and configuring it all over again?

Right no, now, you can only use the UI to create and configure apps, which doesn't have a "duplicate app" feature. But an App Config API is currently on the roadmap and you'll be able to use that to download an existing configuration, tweak as needed and create a new app based on it.
Alternatively, you can use the App Manifest feature. On your app page, click App Manifest and copy over the YAML/JSON from the main app to the new app. This approach will copy over things like scopes and common app configurations.
