Ingredients

.....2 tablespoons chopped celery
.....2 tablespoons butter

.....2 cups toasted bread cubes (croutons)
.....1 tablespoon instant minced onion
.....1/4 teaspoon salt
.....1/8 teaspoon poultry seasoning
.....1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

.....Whole cloves
.....2 tablespoons orange juice

Preparation

Saute celery in the butter. Add the next 7 ingredients. Mix well. Slash the fat around ham to prevent it from curling and place one of the steaks in a greased baking dish. Spread with apple stuffing. Top with remaining ham steak. Stud the fat around the edge with whole cloves, spacing them 1 inch apart.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/4 hours or until done, basting 2 to 3 times with orange juice mixed with the butter. Garnish with apple rings if desired.
