Put the eggs in the freezer until they are frozen and then microwave them for 3 seconds to warm them up. Peel the eggs and then put on the salt and pepper. You don’t mix anything. Grab them from the egg carton and put them on your plate and eat them with your hand. It’s slippery when you get it out of the microwave so put it on a paper plate. There is one egg for each person

Ingredients

2 red apples

Put the water in the jar, dump it in the pan and let everything boil. Cook it for one minute. If you do it for too many minutes it will explode, so poke holes in it. Sprinkle the cinnamon on I then start to decorate the pie with sprinkles and sugar. I always eat it with extra sugar on it. Then it’s done!
