Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Set the glaze aside.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season lightly with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Pour the maple glaze over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145Β°F (63Β°C).
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and spoon the glaze from the pan over the pork chops to coat them thoroughly.
Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired, and serve warm.
