BUG: Series.apply() throws an error on empty series when dtype = pd.StringDtype
- [x] I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

- [x] I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

- [ ] (optional) I have confirmed this bug exists on the master branch of pandas.

---

#### Code Sample, a copy-pastable example

```python
pd.Series(['a', 'b', 'c']).iloc[0:0].apply(lambda x: x) #works as expected
pd.Series(['a', 'b', 'c']).astype('string').iloc[0:0].apply(lambda x: x) #throws an exception
```

#### Problem description
Applying a function to an empty Series with dtype `pd.StringDtype` throws `ValueError: PandasArray must be 1-dimensional.`.

#### Expected Output
Apply does nothing.

#### Output of ``pd.show_versions()``
