Country Ham Steak with Glazed Apples

Don and Bonnie gave us some beautiful ham steak from the last hog they had processed at the Leighton Locker in Leighton, Iowa.  I couldn’t pass up this Land O'Lakes recipe for ham steak with apples.  I loved the sauce and the apples with the ham – not too sweet. 

I made half the recipe for the two of us.  The recipe photo showed the apples sliced in rings, but I used my apple wedge cutter to make nice wedges.  

 We enjoyed it with green beans and Lemon Custard Cups for dessert.
