A few tips on Applejack's Apple Harvest easiest difficulty level. The only things that count against you are letting apples go rotten on the tree and letting Snips and Snails reach the cart. So apple bucking should be your top priority.

You are able to buck apples off the tree even if the basket below it is full and it will not count against you. It's best to save picking up full baskets and delivering during a lull in ripening or when S&S aren't sneaking up.

You can carry two baskets at once. You can also buck while carrying apples. The apples in the baskets never rot so you only have to worry about not letting them rot on the branch.

If make keeping the apples on the tree from rotting and Snips and Snails your priority, you can keep the game going as long as you like, but gaining points this way is slow.

Another thing to keep in mind: The apples go from green to golden to red depending on how many baskets you fill. Green apples ripen the fastest, so when you get the chance to pick up a basket, try to grab green first, with golden apples coming second. Reds are worth more, but it makes the game much easier once all trees are producing red apples.
