  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • Crumb topping: 1/2 cup flour

  4. Add sugar and cinnamon
  5. Pour into prepared pie shell
  6. Mix topping until crumbly and sprinkle over pie. *Note: Either sweet or sour apples may be used in drying
  7. Sweet apples such as Red Delicious are used for sweet schnitz (dried apples), and the peel is left on to ensure a rich flavor
  8. If a tart flavor is preferred, use late fall or early winter fully matured apples
  9. Varieties recommended include old favorites such as Northern Spy, Spitzenberger, Winesap, and Baldwin
  10. Dry a small amount of a variety and test by using it in one of your favorite recipes before drying large amounts of that variety.
