You can make "filling" and freeze:

If you decide to make the full fat turn over, I would just buy some puff pastry dough in the freezer section and make a rustic tart:

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

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.

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.

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