Just a little bit of preparation turns apples and carrots into a fun and very delicious snack. The lettuce leaves become the bowl, and most kids really like filling the lettuce cups. Sprinkle some blue cheese crumbles over the fruit and it will be a hit as an appetizer at your next dinner party too. Choose lettuce with well cupped leaves, Boston lettuce works best.
