Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 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))

Instruction

  • To 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. 
  • Peel and core the apples, then slice into paper-thin rounds.
  • Tuck 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.
  • Whisk the mustards, honey, and cardamom together in a small bowl. Brush over the entire surface of the ham. Bake for 1 hour. 
  • Brush 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.
