Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices (approximately 8 oz each) Ham steak
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 medium Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.33 cups Apple cider (or apple juice)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for frying ham steak)
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Place the ham steaks in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until heated through and lightly browned. Remove the ham steaks from the skillet and set aside, keeping them warm.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced apples to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they start to soften.
Sprinkle the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg over the apples and stir to coat evenly.
Pour in the apple cider and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Return the ham steaks to the skillet and spoon the apple mixture over them. Allow the dish to cook for another 2-3 minutes, just to heat everything through.
Transfer the ham steaks with apple topping to serving plates and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
