While the pork is browning, combine the apple cider vinegar and the Walden Farms maple syrup in a small dish and set aside.
Once both sides of the pork are brown, reduce the heat to medium low and add the apple cider vinegar mix. Cover and cook for another 3-5 minutes or until the pork has reached an internal of temperature 145°F.
Remove the pork from the pan and let it rest and cover with foil for 3 minutes. While it is resting bring the liquid in the pan to a boil and reduce it until it is a thick, gravy-like sauce. Serve with the Cauliflower Mashed Fauxtatoes, top with the reduced sauce if desired.
