Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 piece fully cooked ham steak, about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds Choose a quality ham for best flavor.
  • 1 cup apple butter Use high-quality apple butter for the best flavor.
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup Feel free to add more for a stronger maple flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the fully cooked ham steak in the slow cooker.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the apple butter and pure maple syrup.
  3. Pour the mixture over the ham steak.
  4. Cover and cook on low for four to six hours or until heated through.
Serving
  1. Once the dish is ready, slice the ham steak and serve it warm.
  2. This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad. Drizzle some of the remaining sauce from the slow cooker over the ham for added flavor.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for three to four days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove. For longer storage, freeze the ham and thaw in the refrigerator before reheating. Consider adding chopped apples or walnuts for texture, and spices like cinnamon or cloves for extra flavor.
