- Preheat oven to 325°. Place ham, cut side down, on rack in large roasting pan; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Pour 4 cups water into pan; add apples and onion to pan. Loosely cover ham with aluminum foil; bake 1 hour 40 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 90°.
- In small saucepot, whisk apple cider, apple butter, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg; heat to a simmer over medium heat and simmer 5 minutes, whisking occasionally. Makes about 1 3/4 cups glaze.
- Remove ham from oven; brush with some glaze. Bake ham, uncovered, 1 hour 20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 130°, brushing with glaze every 20 minutes. Loosely cover ham with aluminum foil; let stand 15 minutes before serving. (Internal temperature will rise to 140° upon standing.) Makes about 6 pounds ham.
- Serve ham with any remaining glaze, if desired.
