Baked Ham Recipe with Apples

I love to host holiday parties, and when it comes to choosing the perfect main, I always go for this baked ham with apples recipe. This juicy entree is slathered with a sweet honey mustard glaze, stuffed with crisp apples and roasted to perfection.

📝 Ingredients

• 8-10 pound spiral-cut smoked ham
• 3 Granny Smith apples
• 1/4 cup whole-grain mustard
• 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom ((or substitute cinnamon))

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1To fit the standing ham in your oven, remove one oven rack and lower the other rack to the lowest position. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and set the spiral ham on top.
2. 2Peel and core the apples, then slice into paper-thin rounds.
3. 3Tuck the apple slices between the slices of ham, skipping a row here and there, and spacing them out all the way around the ham. Once the ham gets too full of apples to hold its shape, turn the ham flat-side-down.
4. 4Whisk the mustards, honey, and cardamom together in a small bowl. Brush over the entire surface of the ham. Bake for 1 hour.
5. 5Brush the pan juices over the ham, and bake for 1 more hour, until crispy on the outside. Brush the pan juices over the ham again before serving warm.
