Schnitz And Knepp

You will need about 1 1/2 cups SCHNITZ.  These are dried apple slices, may be hard to find, but you can dry then in a warm oven overnight.  Also a ham bone.  Cook the apples until soft with the ham bone and water to cover.  Season as you like - cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, etc.  When the apples are cooked drop dumplings on top.  This is KNEEP.  Use any dumpling recipe you have, cover and cook until dumplings are done.
