Spread mustard and ham slices over ostrich roulades and top with scallions and half of the apple cubes. Roll up ostrich roulades over filling and bind with kitchen twine. Heat oil in a pan, season rolls with salt and pepper and sauté on all sides. Add shallot, sauté briefly and deglaze pan with white wine. Add broth to pan and simmer gently about 10 minutes over low heat, turning rolls occasionally. Remove rolls from pan and remove kitchen twine from rolls. For the gravy, stir cream and remaining apple cubes into pan and simmer unti creamy, about 8 minutes. Stir horseradish and Calvados into gravy and season with salt and pepper. Set rolls in gravy and heat through.
Sauté Brussels sprout halves in butter and season with salt. To serve, spoon some gravy onto a serving plate. Cut ostrich rolls in half and arrange on plate with gravy. Serve with Brussels sprouts and pass remaining gravy on the side.
