Oven-Roasted Ham with Brown Sugar Apple Gravy
  1. 1

    Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Set the ham, cut-side down, in a large roasting pan. Press the brown sugar evenly over the ham. Pour the apple juice into the pan. Cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil.

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven until the ham is warmed through, about 1 hour 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register 145 degrees F (62 degrees C). Let the ham rest for 10 minutes, then move it to a serving plate. Pour the remaining pan juices into a saucepan.

  4. 4

    Combine the flour and milk in a jar with a lid; shake until the mixture is blended.

  5. 5

    Bring the pan juices to a boil. Slowly whisk the flour mixture into the saucepan and cook until the gravy is thick, about 5 minutes.
