I do agree that with a few more rewrites, this could have been great. Like rather than have him clumsy, have hi do all the work for the Apple family, and do it good. With nothing else to do, that all get lazy and ignore their work. Applejack doesn't like that they're taking advantage of him, and that in return her family isn't working. That would've been more in character for him.

But I have a theory as to why he acted so odd. I belieev that he was so clumsy in this episode, because his perseverance to help Applejack, overtook his common sense, and cautiousness. He was into the idea of helping her, he acted too quick, and not carefully. So I can let it go.

And he is a great cook, but maybe he can't bake a pie. People can be great a cooking something, but be bad a baking something else.
