Some great comments here, thanks a bunch to @mubix and @rgov
My mileage varied slightly but in the end this is what worked for me on a 2018 Macbook Pro running Mojave. This was after installing gcc and openssl via brew. Notice the CFLAGS instead of CPPFLAGS
./configure CC="gcc-8" CFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include" LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib" --disable-pkg-config

You should use
$(brew --prefix)when possible instead of hard-coding Homebrew paths.
