Schnitz= dried apples ( in the Deitsch) Truth be told, with an abundance of fresh picked apples on the porch, I decided to make two schnitz pies. I found the tail end of a big box from last winter and immediately began to salivate. Unless I can find a crisp juicy Winesap or Macoun apple in October, I often prefer the tart chewy texture of dried apples the rest of the year. These were indeed...very dry. But no worries. I sprinkled them with a cup of apple cider and warmed them up on the wood stove until they got nice and plump. Then I gave them a generous sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg and added a chunk of butter. No added sugar needed. Dumped it all in a pie shell with a little splash of cider and baked for about 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Serve a slice warm with milk poured over. Mmmmm
