SCHNITZ UND KNEPP RECIPE

Steps:

• Cover the dried apple slices with water and soak overnight. When apple slices are ready, put the ham in the pot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer over medium heat for 2 hours. (Precooked ham will only take about 30 minutes.) When the meat is tender, remove the ham and cut it off the bone. Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces and return it to the pot. Add the apples and water in which they were soaked. Add the brown sugar and spice and cook 1 hour longer. Add the Gnepp (dumplings) for the last 20 minutes. To make the Gnepp: Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl. Stir in the beaten egg and melted butter. Add just enough milk until the batter is stiff. Drop a spoonful of the dough into the boiling ham and apples. Feel free to add water in order to cook the dumplings. Cover the kettle tightly and simmer 20 minutes. Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and set aside. Drain off excess water and place the ham and apples onto a platter. Serve with the dumplings on top.
