Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 325ºF (165ºC). Place the smoked ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. |

| 6 | In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water, then stir the mixture into the apple mixture in the skillet. |
| 7 | Cook and stir the mixture for about 2 minutes, or until it thickens and becomes bubbly. Remove the skillet from the heat. |
| 8 | Stir in the Calvados (apple brandy), incorporating its aromatic essence into the salad. |
| 9 | Serve the baked ham hot, accompanied by generous spoonfuls of the Waldorf Salad. Enjoy the symphony of flavors and textures! |
