I made the recipe exactly, and the ham steak was AMAZING. It was very tender and flavorful and I wouldn't change a thing. The apples give the steak a great flavor profile and the tartness of the green apples cut the maple syrup's sweetness. I didn't particularly like the apples themselves, but I'm not a fan of meat & fruit together anyway. The rest of my family loved the apples' flavor, so definitely serve them with the steak!

Not enough flavor in this for me. However, a nice recipe for a quick ham entree.

I had to make a few slight changes for this to be fantabulous, so I gave the recipe 4 stars as is. First, because it doesn't say, be sure to use unsalted butter, the ham adds more than plenty of salt to the recipe, no extra is required. I reduced the butter by 1/3 (ie 1 TBS) and sauteed the apples in it, then added the syrup and apples, which I cooked until they were almost done. I added the ham steaks and cooked them until they were heated through, which was enough time to allow the apples to finish cooking to perfection. As others stated, double the apples; they are so delicious on their own or in every bite. Under no circumstances use pancake syrup...yuck. Use REAL maple syrup; it was more than sweet enough and didn't taste artificial. Next time, I plan on reducing the amount of syrup by 1/4 or more; as it was a bit too sweet for my tastes. I made extra for leftovers so that I could fill buckwheat crepes with the ham and Swiss cheese. I heated until ham was warm and cheese was melted. I warmed the apples and spooned them and juice over the top. It makes for the absolutely most delicious lunch.

I was a little disappointed in this. I expected the apples and syrup to add some sweetness, but the apples didn't pick up much maple flavor and the resulting sauce was actually a little salty.

Wonderful recipe! I cooked the apples first in butter, syrup, cinnamon and even a little brown sugar til tender. Set aside. Cooked the ham in a little of the sauce from the apples. Drained the watery ham after the ham was done. Then added the apples and all of the remaining sauce to the hot ham. DIVINE!!! Absolutely divine!!

This was the recipe of the day on 10/20/12... I was sitting at my in-laws place,ealy in the morning, trying to figure out what to make for dinner after we came back from the casino... And this recipe sounded easy, quick, and delicous. I read several of the reviews and also felt 2 apples was not enough. So, I added 2 more apples. The other change I had to make was to cook the ham seperate (not my kitchen, didn't have proper pan), keep it warm, and prepare the apples. I added a little more butter and sauted the 4 sliced apples. When they were almost done, I put the ham back in. I also made stuffing with this meal and steamed green beans. The only bottle of the wine in the house was a semi-sweet red Bully Hill.. Not the best match, but it was good enough. Every body raved how good the house smelled while I was making dinner, and how great the meal was. I have added this recipe to my recipe box, and will make it again.
