Preheat oven to 350 °F.
Stir the RUB ingredients in a bowl.
Pat dry the pork chops and rub the RUB mixture into them. Set aside.
Place a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil, and add the pork chops and brown well on both sides in batches.
Stir together the SAUCE ingredients in a bowl.
Place the pork chops on the bottom of a baking pan; I used a 9x13 baking pan. Pour the sauce over the pork chops. Add rosemary if using.
Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145 °F.
Remove, let the meat rest for 10 minutes, and serve.
