Here in Germany we actually have a lot of old recipes where apples or fruits and meat are combined. Back in the days the dumplings where often made with lard. Cause it was mostly available. At least for farming folks. I love this dish. A Schnitz in German language refers to any slice of fruit. Abbelschnitz mit Knöbb we would call it. ❤😊
I am so grateful to you for making this. Have heard about since way back in the ‘70’s when having moved to the southeast central Pa area, but haven’t seemed to have encountered them face to face. Your gift for making things seen approachable will change that
What a neat recipe. Love the old school recipe using dried apples. Hard to find where I live. And yes, dumplings are lovely, fluffy balls. Never had the southern thick noodle ones. Cooking a ham tonight. Might try a version of this using fresh apples.
Now when I say fluffy little dumplings I'm going to have to make those hand motions like you do. My grandmother used to make this for me when I was little. Love it.
I have some ham hocks to use up so will definitely give this a try. I saw a comment about corn pie. I have never heard of it but maybe that would be a good video? Would this be a good all round dumpling recipe? Thanks
Looks comforting ❤. Could you let the apples and ham cook together for an apple ham broth? You got my brain working to think of so many varieties of this meal which you would probably not want to do because this is obviously a comfort food so the tradition is this is how it is but it would be good with green beans, some quartered potatoes I guess kind of like a shuck bean dish. My dad side of the family comes from Harlan Kentucky but a lot of their dishes have roots in Pennsylvania Dutch so I think that’s where I envision the marriage of some of these things. I’m so glad I found your channel.
Helga have you ever had PA Dutch corn pie? I make it several times a year. My Pappy’s whole family is from Lancaster County PA and that’s the first PA Dutch recipe I learned. Take care and God Bless!
@@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot Oh yes! I had completely forgotten about this dish, haven't had since childhood! I'd love to see you do a recipe for this! Thanks @Angela 😋😊
I had this for the first time last week at Shady Maple, but what they were passing off as schitz un knepp had no meat or onions in it. At least I didn't detect any. It just seemed to be the apples in a thick sauce with dumplings that had the texture of leftover pie crust that was baked in the sauce. Of course, I could be wrong because any dumpling takes on the flavor of whatever they're baked in. And the apples were heavily spiced. Theirs tasted more like a dessert, but it was located with the sides. Then again, my sample could've been too small as I wanted to try everything.
Thank you for sharing all these old PA dishes. It reminds me of my childhood.
I Love your recipes 😋
Glad you like them! Thank you!

Thank you! Many of these dishes (PA Dutch) are German in nature. Love the heritage!
thank you for the great recipe! i appreciate all you're doing here
My pleasure 😊
Hi am living in Williamsport Pennsylvania so your recipes are very appreciated
That's awesome! I love it when my PA peeps find something relevant! Thank you!
That looks very tasty. I've never heard of this. I would definitely try this. Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure 😊
Looks delicious I like dumplings better than pasta any day, lol. Thumbs up. Stay well & safe.
My mom used to make this . Thanks

My pleasure 😊
Looks like a winner to me! Thank you for sharing your recipe with us, Helga. Stay safe and stay warm.
Yum. I love this dish. Time to make some. Thanks.
That looks absolutely delicious!!! Growing up we always had cooked apples with pork’s chops…but never had your version with dumplings💕👍.

Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy it! It's very yummy!
Wow, this recipe even got Doris' attention.
Oh my Helga, that looks soooo good. Can't wait to make it. Thank you very much. 👌💕

Growing up I always had fluffy dumplings. I never knew about the flat ones until recently! 🌺 Jen
Some fresh chives at the end is also good.
That sounds good!
That looks so good! I have so many dehydrated apples and I have never heard of this! Thank you!
Now when I say fluffy little dumplings I'm going to have to make those hand motions like you do. My grandmother used to make this for me when I was little. Love it.
Hope you make it relive those yummy memories!
Helga that looks so good! I’m surprised my parents never made this. They always made slippy pot pie!
Ei des sieht schee aus - irn schmaacht bestimmt gout! (no PA dutch, but hessian dialect)
Thanks for sharing this receipt!
Der hessische Dialekt ist einfach in Ordnung! Danke!
So Good, Helga!
Fluffy li'l dumplings....*sigh*...maybe from Helga's kitchen...mine? More like golf balls....glad you made this....mine might be too schnitzel-ish LOL
But that'd still be yummy in my book, LOL!

My husband is like yours. If he even thinks it’s got fruit it’s a no go.
My husband is the same way! 🌺 Jen
They are real dumplings 🤣 I said just for schnitz n giggles. Seriously going to try this, Helga
ROTFLMAO!
I’ve never heard of this before but it’s right up my alley. I will have to try it soon. Thanks for sharing! 🌺 Jen
You're welcome!
Looks delicious!
Thank you!
Looks really good
Thank you!
Great comfort food!
Absolutley!
Love this 😀 ❤️ You read my mind about it being a ham version of Chicken and dumplings.
Thank you!
Thank you!
You're welcome!

Sure, I don't see why not! Thanks!
Pork, apples and dumplings, what could be better?
I know, right?

I haven't in a long time and I don't know why, lol. But since you reminded me, guess what I'm making soon! Thank you!
Awesome! Can’t wait to see your variation! Happy Cooking

Shady Maple is a dangerous place! What I grew up was a soup as you see and not the sweet version. But who knows?
Looks great! Did you use butter flavored Crisco shortening?
Yes I did!
❤👍❤
