When I do apply it do I just put it on my finger and rub it on the threads on the crank and pedal?
I use white lithium grease for pedals all the time. Yes, you can use your finger, as far as I'm concerned.
You say you're new to this bicycle mechanic stuff, so be sure to note that there is a left pedal and a right pedal and that you turn BOTH left and right pedals toward the Front of the bike to Fasten, and the Rear of the bike to Remove! Failure to do so will strip the pedal threads.
Have fun!
