YES. The problem of application is a big part of my research right now! As the other authors suggested, Hursthouse's On Virtue Ethics is super easily digestible. As for Aristotle though, if you don't have the time to go through everything (even if they're subtly linked), the Politics is a good thing to follow up Nic Ethics with. I haven't read the entirety of Eudemean Ethics, so I don't have a fully formed opinion on it. Another good book is Setiya's Reason Without Rationality, which was recommended to me by a doctoral candidate in super applied ethics, who did virtue ethics in his undergrad. Again, I haven't finished this yet, but what I have read is super on point.

As for specific topics, virtue ethics has been used a lot recently in healthcare ethics, and environmental ethics. Specifically, Holland wrote an interesting piece on the plausibility of virtue ethics resolving the shortcomings of the prevalent theories, and have an excellent anthology on virtue ethics with regards to the environment (under the guidance of my supervisor, a lot of my undergrad thesis is expanding or reworking the papers in here, if that lends it any credibility). From the authors in that anthology, I've also been looking more into Thomas Hill Jr. and Wensveen, specifically who have loads of great advice. Lastly, MacIntyres After Virtue is pretty important. I have tons more, but that should be a good start for you. LMK if you have any more specific requests, or need any help understanding these.

As for applying virtue ethics in our own lives, for me personally, the manner of moral judgment and criticism is super easily applied to my own life (granted, I'm a pretty fucking insecure person off the internet, so direction of causation is questionable there). There are a lot of thoughts that take the form of "damn, that was a very [vice] act" etc. I like to imagine that anyone with a serious interest in virtue ethics at least aims towards being a virtuous agent.
