SCHNITZ un KNEPP

[@caracoates4834]

Thank you for sharing all these old PA dishes. It reminds me of my childhood.

[@katielin2379]

That looks very tasty. I've never heard of this. I would definitely try this. Thank you for sharing.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

My pleasure 😊

[@ncanellos]

Hi am living in Williamsport Pennsylvania so your recipes are very appreciated

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

That's awesome! I love it when my PA peeps find something relevant! Thank you!

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. ❤😊

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Thank you! Many of these dishes (PA Dutch) are German in nature. Love the heritage!

[@nanhomesweethome]

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

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy it! It's very yummy!

[@melissalambert7615]

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.

[@alaskafamilykitchen3203]

Growing up I always had fluffy dumplings. I never knew about the flat ones until recently! 🌺 Jen

[@ncanellos]

I Love your recipes 😋

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Glad you like them! Thank you!

[@owenmiller5107]

My mom used to make this . Thanks so much for posting this!!

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

My pleasure 😊

[@S.Kay.Steffy]

That looks absolutely delicious!!! Growing up we always had cooked apples with pork’s chops…but never had your version with dumplings💕👍.

[@shovelhead8]

Looks like a winner to me! Thank you for sharing your recipe with us, Helga. Stay safe and stay warm.

[@peggetennant]

Yum. I love this dish. Time to make some. Thanks.

[@beaandmaddy6623]

Oh my Helga, that looks soooo good. Can't wait to make it. Thank you very much. 👌💕

[@wyattoneable]

Wow, this recipe even got Doris' attention.

[@robinsnest68]

That looks so good! I have so many dehydrated apples and I have never heard of this! Thank you!

[@thomastommy1192]

Looks delicious I like dumplings better than pasta any day, lol. Thumbs up. Stay well & safe.

[@justinrad5073]

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.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Hope you make it relive those yummy memories!

[@MennoniteFarmhouse]

Helga that looks so good! I’m surprised my parents never made this. They always made slippy pot pie!

[@timwauman]

Some fresh chives at the end is also good.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

That sounds good!

[@RiceaRoni354]

My husband is like yours. If he even thinks it’s got fruit it’s a no go.

[@alaskafamilykitchen3203]

My husband is the same way! 🌺 Jen

[@wblack751]

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

[@GrannyMonster]

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

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

But that'd still be yummy in my book, LOL!

[@alaskafamilykitchen3203]

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

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

You're welcome!

[@SteveC38]

So Good, Helga!

[@littleprepper887]

Love this 😀 ❤️ You read my mind about it being a ham version of Chicken and dumplings.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Thank you!

[@peteraffm]

Ei des sieht schee aus - irn schmaacht bestimmt gout! (no PA dutch, but hessian dialect) Thanks for sharing this receipt!

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Der hessische Dialekt ist einfach in Ordnung! Danke!

[@markgordon6971]

Looks really good

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Thank you!

[@ljtminihomestead5839]

Looks delicious!

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Thank you!

[@BigGaz1953]

They are real dumplings 🤣 I said just for schnitz n giggles. Seriously going to try this, Helga

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

ROTFLMAO!

[@SpoonMe]

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.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Sure, I don't see why not! Thanks!

[@marygallagher3428]

Great comfort food!

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Absolutley!

[@squib4296]

Thank you!

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

You're welcome!

[@BlueTopaz1208]

Looks great! Did you use butter flavored Crisco shortening?

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Yes I did!

[@Barbarra63297]

Pork, apples and dumplings, what could be better?

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

I know, right?

[@deetmartin9985]

❤👍❤

[@GimlisMama]

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]

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!

[@GimlisMama]

Awesome! Can’t wait to see your variation! Happy Cooking

[@Sun-Soul]

@@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 😋😊

[@GimlisMama]

@@Sun-Soul of course, can’t wait for her take on it ❤

[@Sun-Soul]

@@GimlisMama Same! 😊

[@MAMsMom97]

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.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Shady Maple is a dangerous place! What I grew up was a soup as you see and not the sweet version. But who knows?
