Ingredients

3 pounds smoked pork picnic ham
6 ounces dried apples (about 2 cups)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/41/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

How To Make schnitz un knepp

Step 1

Remove skin and fat from outside of smoked pork. Place pork in a Dutch oven; add enough water to cover meat. Bring water to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes.

Step 2

Stir in dried apples, onions and brown sugar. Cover; simmer 1 hour more.
Step 3

For the dumplings: Into a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Add the egg and melted butter, and enough milk to make a moist, fairly stiff batter.
Step 4

Uncover the ham and apples, and bring the cooking liquid to a boil. Drop the batter by tablespoonfuls into the boiling liquid. Cover tightly and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes without opening. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Step 5

To serve, place the ham on a large platter and let sit for 5 minutes, then carve thinly. Spoon the apples around the ham, followed by the dumplings. Spoon a small amount of the cooking liquid over the ham and serve. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
