Oven-Baked Ham with Sweet Brown Sugar and Apple Gravy

Preheat your oven to a moderate temperature of 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).

Position the ham, cut-side down, in a spacious roasting dish. Distribute brown sugar uniformly across the surface of the ham. Pour apple juice into the pan, ensuring it covers the entire surface. Cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil to trap heat.

Bake the ham in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until it reaches a safe internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit (62 degrees Celsius). Allow the ham to rest for 10 minutes before transferring it to a serving platter.

Carefully pour the remaining pan juices into a saucepan, taking care not to spill any. Combine flour and milk in a sealed container; shake the mixture until it is well-blended.

Bring the pan juices to a rolling boil. Gradually whisk in the flour mixture, allowing it to cook until the gravy thickens, approximately 5 minutes.
