Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and season both sides with half of the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, tented with foil.
In the same skillet, add the diced apple, minced red onion, cinnamon, thyme, and the remaining salt and pepper.
Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the apples are slightly softened and the onions are translucent.
Stir in the apple cider vinegar and maple syrup, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits, and simmer for 1-2 minutes until the liquid thickens into a chutney.
While the chutney simmers, steam the green beans in a small amount of water for 5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Serve the pork chops topped generously with the warm apple chutney alongside the steamed green beans.
