Make the stuffing: heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 4–5 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the apple, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and chicken broth. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apple is just tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Transfer the stuffing to a bowl and let it cool for 5 minutes. Wipe the skillet clean.
