Ingredients for Baked Sliced Ham And Apples

  • Ham Slices
  • Dry Mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 3 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

How to Make Baked Sliced Ham And Apples

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Carefully remove the bone from the ham slice. (If using boneless ham, skip this step).
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard and apple cider vinegar.
  4. Spread the mustard mixture evenly over the surface of the ham.
  5. Arrange half of the apple slices in a single layer on top of the mustard-coated ham.
  6. Top with the remaining apple slices, creating a second layer.
  7. Sprinkle the brown sugar generously over the apples.
  8. Tightly roll the ham lengthwise into a roulade. Secure the roll using metal skewers or kitchen twine.
  9. Place the rolled ham in a baking pan and dot the top with softened butter.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, basting several times with pan juices during baking.
  11. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Allow approximately 1/4 to 1/3 pound of ham per serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
