Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Put butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. When butter has melted, add apples, onion, celery, and garlic; let sweat for 5 to 6 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine cornbread stuffing mix, 1 1/2 cups water, and 2 tablespoons butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high power for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the microwave and fluff with a fork. Repeat with turkey stuffing mix, remaining 1 1/2 cups water, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter.

Combine softened apple-vegetable mixture and both stuffings in a large bowl; stir until everything is mixed together. Add 2 cups broth and stir again; it needs to be wet but not soupy. Add more broth (up to 1 cup) if needed. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is slightly crunchy and the stuffing looks a lot drier than it did going into the oven, about 35 minutes. If more time is needed, bake in 10-minute increments.
