Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ham steak
- 4 medium apples
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.25 cups water
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or coat it with non-stick spray.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges and set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, honey, water, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
Arrange the sliced ham steaks in the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping if necessary.
Distribute the apple slices evenly around and on top of the ham.
Pour the prepared brown sugar and spice mixture over the ham and apples, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, sealing it tightly to keep the moisture in.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and baste the ham and apples with the sauce from the baking dish. Return to the oven uncovered and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the apples are tender and lightly caramelized.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy the sweet and savory blend of baked ham and apples!
