| I'm not a great cook but we have so many boxes of fruit that my inlaws brought over. I was thinking the kids might like turnovers or some other fruit pastry thing. Any ideas? Bonus if it's relatively healthy and not overly bogged with butter and sugar. |

| Turnovers and pastry by definition will have lots if butter and not be healthy. |

| What kind of fruit? You can make just about anything into a "crisp". Just add an oatmeal crumble on top based on the recipe. You don't need to even add sugar to most fruits. |

Try this crumble recipe...a bit healthier than standard pies and crumble/crisp recipes:

+1 This is the recipe I use and it looks marginally even easier, which is always a plus in my book. http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/905/Blueberry-Crumble127855.shtml I also do a ton of fruit muffins. Google for a recipe with ricotta cheese, and then use 1/3 of the sugar it calls for. The ricotta makes them moist and sweet, but without so much sugar. And finally, pioneer woman has a really simple recipe using puff pastry. http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/05/quick-easy-and-yummy-apple-tart/ I've only tried it once and clearly did something wrong (it turned out soggy) but it looks like it would be great. |

Good turnovers are full of butter  . You can try muffins, or apple sauce with a mixture of fruits?

You can make "filling" and freeze:
