Directions
Pick over and wash dried apples. Cover with water and let soak over night or for a number of hours. In the morning, cover ham with cold water and let boil for 3 hours. Add the apples and water in which they have been soaked and continue to boil for another hour. Add brown sugar.
Make dumplings by sifting together the flour, salt, pepper and baking powder. Stir in the beaten egg, milk (enough to make fairly moist, stiff batter), and melted butter.
Drop the batter by spoonfuls into the hot liquid with the ham and apples. Cover kettle tight and cook dumplings for 15 minutes. Serve piping hot on large platter.

I was so proud when I finally made Schnitz Un Knepp properly for my PA.Dutch husband. As did his gr.mother, we always used dried SWEET apples. They were hard to get. Think I last got them at Farmer's Mkt. in Lancaster. That was many years ago.
