Ingredients

3 cups diced cooked ham
4 medium apples peeled and sliced
¼ cup packed brown sugar
¼ tsp. Black pepper
¼ tsp. Ground nutmeg
¼ cup fruit juice or water
½ tsp. Baking powder
1 cup milk
2 tbsp. Melted butter

Directions

Make a layer of ham and apples in a large baking pan.  Combine the sugar, nutmeg and pepper and sprinkle over mixture.  Repeat with the remaining apple-ham-sugar mixture.  Pour the fruit juice or water over the mixture.  Cover the pan and bake for about 30 or 40 minutes or until apples are tender.  Blend the flour, baking powder, milk and melted butter to make a batter.  Pour over ham and apple mixture and bake uncovered, about 20 minutes or until topping is puffed and golden brown.
