Steps:
- Combine water, salt, and sugar in a bowl and stir until the crystals are dissolved. Add pork chops, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours.
- Remove pork chops from the brine and shake off excess. Discard the remaining brine. Pat chops dry with paper towels and place on a plate or cutting board.
- Combine chili powder, onion powder, salt, and white pepper in a small bowl. Distribute 1/2 of the rub mixture among the 4 chops and rub to coat the entire surface. Turn the chops and repeat. Allow chops to come to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine apricot all-fruit spread, hoisin sauce, ginger, garlic, chili-garlic sauce, and lime juice for the glaze in a medium, microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave mixture on high for 3 minutes, stirring halfway through. Carefully remove glaze and set aside.
- Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) if recommended by manufacturer. Spray each side of seasoned and rubbed chops with cooking spray.

Tips:
- To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, or 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
- If you don't have an apricot glaze, you can make your own by combining apricot preserves, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and ginger in a saucepan and simmering until thickened.
- Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
