Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Pat dry 4 bone-in pork chops (6 oz each) and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 8 chopped fresh sage leaves.
Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Step 4: Arrange 1 medium thinly sliced apple around the pork chops in the skillet.
Step 5: Brush the maple-sage glaze evenly over the pork chops and apples.
Step 6: Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 12-15 minutes until pork reaches 145°F internal temperature.
Step 7: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving, spooning pan juices over chops.
