Remove pork chops from pan and keep warm in microwave.

Turn off heat from pan. Add garlic and turn heat back on to Medium High.

Add apple cider vinegar and deglaze pan. Add apple cider and dijon mustard. NOTE I didn't have any dijon mustard so I just used 1/2 t of Prepared Mustard and 1/2 t Sugar.

Turn heat up on HIGH and stir constantly until a thick syrupy glaze forms.

Stir in rosemary and red pepper flakes. Return boneless pork chops to pan and cook on each side for 1-2 minutes.
