When I set up my app, I chose the LAMP app that just said "LAMP" and not one that specified the version - and am now realizing that I should have chosen 7.3 specifically.
So, I'm wondering if there's an easy way to update the PHP in that app without needing to create a new app (with new database information, new redis information, etc.).
@makemrproper yes, I think this method isn't going to work for me. Especially if it still refers to the old app's database. (Though, if that's the case, I'm not sure why it continually fails due to a MySQL disconnection error) I'll just transfer the files and the database myself. Seems like way less headache!

I tried to migrate to 7.3 using the steps provided above - and all seemed to be working swimmingly until it errored out with "ECONNRESET" importing the mysql DB.
It's a very large mysql DB (5.8 GB). Any idea why the connection might reset (the backup is on a linode volume connected to the local filesystem)? Or a way to go about upgrading this app without hitting the same error again?
EDIT: To make matters worse, I also can't uninstall the app where I tried to do the upgrade for likely the same reason. Error was: " Error : Addons Error - Error tearing down mysql: socket hang up "
EDIT 2: I resolved, at least the uninstall problem, by allocating more RAM to mysql. Seeing if that solves the over all problem now!
To be clear: When you say "The approach would be to restore from an app backup into a new instance of the lamp app with php 7.3"
Do you mean that I do the normal stuff of downloading the DB, copying over all the files, then editing DB/redis credentials across the app - or do you mean download the backup file for the LAMP app the Cloudron supplies, create a new LAMP app, and use the "import from external file" function?
