Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the apple chunks and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes.
Sprinkle the dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and freshly ground black pepper over the vegetables and apples. Stir well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
