Ingredients
  • 1 Ham Steak (1/2 inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 Apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black Pepper

Prepare the Apples

Peel, core, and slice the apples. Set aside.

Make the Maple Glaze

In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup and apple cider vinegar. Whisk until well combined. This glaze will provide a sweet and tangy flavor to the ham.

Sauté the Apples

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook until the apples are tender and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Remove the apples from the skillet and set aside.

Cook the Ham Steak

In the same skillet, place the ham steak and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until heated through and lightly browned.

Glaze the Ham

During the last minute of cooking, brush the maple glaze evenly over both sides of the ham steak. Let the glaze caramelize slightly, creating a rich and flavorful crust. Watch carefully.

Serve

Place the glazed ham steak on a serving plate. Top with the sautéed apples. Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful sweet and savory combination.
