Seared Pork Chops With Maple Syrup Sauce

• Sauce:
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 1 tablespoon quick-mixing flour (such as Wondra(R))
• 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
• Pork Chops:
• 4 (4 ounce) center-cut pork chops
• 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 4 teaspoons brown sugar

1. Bring apple cider vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in maple syrup; cover and cook for 10 minutes.
2. Mix cold water and quick-mixing flour together in a small bowl. Whisk into the maple syrup mixture. Stir in 2/3 cup brown sugar and cook until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Cover and keep warm.
3. Season pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
4. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops; cook until browned, about 4 minutes. Flip with tongs; sprinkle 1 teaspoon brown sugar over each chop. Continue cooking until second side is browned, about 4 minutes more. Transfer to serving plates and spoon sauce on top.
