Ψḟo≥⁰≠İp

Try it online! or Verify first 8 values

It is always a good day when you get to use Ψ in your program.

Explanation

Ψḟo≥⁰≠İp
      İp to the infinite list of prime numbers,
Ψ        apply this higher order function on overlapping pairs
 ḟo      first element where
     ≠   absolute difference
   ≥⁰    is greater than or equal to the input.

Anonymous code block that takes a number and returns a number.

Explanation

{                               }  # Anonymous code block
   (3...{                     })   # Increment from 3 until
         (               )>=$_     # The input is less than or equal to
          $^a...&is-prime          # The difference between the current number and the next prime plus 1
 1+                                # And add one to the length of this list

d=(p,i=2)=>i<p?!(p%i)||d(p,i+1):0
f=(n,a=2,p=a+1)=>d(p)?f(n,a,p+1):p-a<n?f(n,p):a

Try it online!

Explanation:

d is a helper function that returns true if p is not prime.

f=(n, a=2, p=a+1) =>
    d(p)?f(n, a, p + 1)  // Recurse until p is prime
                         // p starts at a+1 so it gets the prime after a
    :p-a<n?f(n, p):a     // If a, p doesn't work, we already computed the next prime so it's easy to recurse

This is an integer input/output function solution. The upper limit of prime number supported is the square root ofN, so currently it counts prime numbers up to 99 and prints nonsense if needed to go beyond that, but it can be extended up to sqrt(INT_MAX) long as the stack can handle the VLA p.

I'm still a rookie at this, quite likely the algorithm itself (Sieve of Eratosthenes) is naive for code golfing purposes. I'm also quite sure that this could be rewritten with recursion somehow to shave off a bit of loop syntax overhead...
