>I thought "heaven and earth" was apples and potatoes?
It's a pun.  In German, one word for potato is "Erdapfel' or earth 
apple.  So Himmel und Erde is earth apples, and apples from heaven.. 
or at least up in the air on a tree.
The recipes I've seen are apples and potatoes cooked and mashed 
together, served with fried onions,  and usually bacon or black 
sausage.
Bringing it somewhat period, I wonder if this could be a descendant 
of the apple gesharb sauce found in Rumpolt.
