I was worried I’d never taste my aunts’ dish again, but I found the recipe and it’s tastier than ever!

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar-free maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
4. Pour the maple glaze over the pork chops, making sure they are well coated.
5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
6. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving.
Variations & Tips

For a bit of extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the glaze for a subtle kick. If you have picky eaters, consider serving the glaze on the side so everyone can add as much or as little as they like. You can also try using bone-in pork chops for a juicier result, just adjust the cooking time accordingly. For a touch of freshness, garnish with chopped fresh parsley or thyme before serving.
