Steps:
- Pat pork chops dry using a paper towel then season on both sides with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, chili powder and flour together until completely combined.
- Sprinkle each pork chop with seasoned flour then pat to coat evenly. Set pork chops aside to allow flour to absorb moisture released by the pork chops.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat then allow the pan to heat evenly. Add oil then place as many pork chops as will comfortably fit into skillet without overcrowding the pan.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes until dark golden brown on the first side, then flip and cook on second side to desired doneness or until just barely cooked though-additional 1-2 minutes depending on thickness. Transfer pork chops to a plate, cover lightly with a sheet of aluminum foil and set aside.
- Return skillet to heat then add apple cider, vinegar, honey and Dijon to skillet, whisking to combine. Bring mixture to a boil, scraping the bottom of the pan to dissolve all of the brown bits into the cider.
- Allow liquid to boil rapidly for about 6-8 minutes until it becomes thick and has reduced by slightly more than half. Remove from heat then season glaze to taste with salt and pepper. Return pork chops to skillet, turning to coat in glaze, or pour glaze over pork chops and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season each side with a sprinkling of pepper, and salt if desired. Heat oil in a large nonstick frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat until just hot then add pork chops and brown both sides (around 5 minutes if your pork chops are around 1/2-inch thick).
- Stir cider and brown sugar together and add to the frying pan. Reduce heat to low and simmer the pork chops, uncovered, turning the chops after a minute, until the meat is almost cooked through but not quite (about 2 minutes). Remove pork chops to a plate with a fork.
- Add the vinegar and ground mustard to the frying pan juices and bring to a boil, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan with a spatula. Continue to cook until the glaze mixture is reduced to about 1/3 cup. It will take 5 to 10 minutes. The cider mixture will get bubbly when it is just about at the syrup/glaze stage.
- Turn off heat. Place the pork chops back in the frying pan along with any juices that formed on the bottom of the plate.
- Flip chops over to coat both sides with the cider glaze, cover frying pan and let sit for a minute or two to blend flavors. Check thickest part of the pork chop for desired doneness and serve.

- For a sweeter glaze, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.

- Serve your pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
