Applejack Nails

Hey everypony!

So today ah'm gonna teach y'all how to do Applejack-inspired nails.

Y'all will need these polishes:

Bottom/top coat
Orange polish (Sally Hansen Sun Kissed)
Red polish with a thin brush
Yellow polish with a thin brush (or a design pen if you can find one. Ah couldn't.)

First, do the clear bottom coat. Ah honestly just learned about doin' this a little while ago and it works so great to prevent chippin'.

Then, do a coat of the orange.

Let that dry completely. And ah mean really completely. Ah waited about an hour between each color which weren't much fun for me, but it helped a lot.

Then on each nail, do a stripe of red.

Ah realize that the orange and red I picked were close together in color, but if you squint hard y'all can see it, right?

Once that's dry, do smaller lines of yellow over the red stripe and some horizontal lines across the top of the nail.

Ah'll be honest, this is hard. Ah messed up on mah own nails a lot and ah'm still not perfectly proud of them.
But if y'all can manage to get a look you like, great for you!
Good luck!

Applejack T-shirt

Hey everypony!

So ah know it's been a while. Midterms and all that are just gettin' in the way of the ponies.

So if you want t'make an Applejack T-shirt, it's really easy. All ya need is a yellow T-shirt that's big on you, and orange tie-dye.

Mix the dye according to the package directions.

Scrunch up that shirt real good and randomly toss the dye on it. Ah don't have pictures of this part 'cause ah forgot my camera. Ah'm sorry 'bout that.

Follow the directions for the dye on washing your shirt after you're done.

Should look somethin' like this:

See? Just the kind of shirt you could throw on before workin' on the farm.

Here's what it looks like on a person:

An' if you want to get a li'l fancy? Easy! Just tie the bottom hem into a knot.

(y'all might want to imagine that on someone skinnier. trust me, it works.)
That's all there is to it! Simple tie dye in the right color can make you a great Applejack T-shirt!

Applejack Cupcakes

Hey y'all!

So ah bet you want to try some delicious Applejack-inspired cupcakes. Ah'm gonna show you how to make them.

They're gonna be apple pie cupcakes. They just ain't Applejack without some apple in them!

Y'all will need:

3 c flour

1 tbsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

1 c plus 2 tbsp unsalted butter

2 c  plus 2 tbsp sugar

4 eggs

1 ½ tsp vanilla extract (That's what the recipe calls for, but ah only used 1/2 tsp and it came out fine)

1 c milk

2 tsp cinnamon

3 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and diced (Ah used apples from my school's dining commons. Weren't Granny Smiths, but they tasted just fine. And they were free.)

Line your cupcake pan with tin foil.

Ah only did this because ah couldn't find paper liners. But it's got the advantage of lookin' like a pie tin.

Mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Cream together 1 cup of the butter with 2 cups of sugar (or 1 cup sugar-Splenda mix, which is what ah did)

Beat the eggs into the mix.

Bake at 350 for 18-22 minutes.

Meanwhile, peel an' dice yer apples.

Cook the apples with the rest of the butter an' sugar, an' the cinnamon.

Cupcakes out a' the oven. Don't they look nice?

When the cupcakes are cool, carve a li'l hole in each one.

Put some a' yer apple pie fillin' in the hole. And y'all have some delicious apple pie cupcakes!
