Chop onions and dice raw bacon.
Cooking
Cook bacon until crispy. Set bacon aside. Reserve some of the bacon grease.

Brown pork chops for 1 minute on each side. Remove and set aside.
Deglaze pan with apple cider vinegar. Add apple butter and sage. Cook until just boiling.
Add bacon and onion to apple butter glaze. Mix well. Add pork chops making sure they have been coated with the glaze.
Drizzle pork chops with caramel apple maple syrup.
Bake pork chops in the oven for 6-7 minutes until the internal temperature reaches at least 160F.
Pro Tips
Bourbon Maple Syrup or Apples & Cinnamon Maple Syrup are great substitutes for the Caramel Apple Maple Syrup here.
If using thin cut pork chops, the bake time will need to be shortened.
Add in cooked, thin sliced apples for heartier apple texture.
