• 0.25 cups water
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or coat it with non-stick spray.

Step 3

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges and set aside.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.
