Here's a low calorie one...great for a person doing Weight Watchers!

Oven Fried Peach Pies (Any pie filling you want!)

1 Cup Canned Peaches, packed in extra-light syrup (or any pie filling you like)
2 Tablespoons Sugar, divided (I used Splenda)
3/4 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, divided
1 (7.5 ounce) Can Pillsbury Buttermilk Biscuits (1 point each)
Butter Flavored Cooking Spray or Pam Spray (I use ICBINB Spray instead)

Drain peaches completely and dice. Mix with 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Separate the biscuits. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each biscuit into a 4 inch circle. Spoon one rounded tablespoon of peach mixture into the center of each biscuit. Lightly brush edges of each biscuit with water, fold over and seal edges with a fork. Place pies on an ungreased cookie sheet and spray with butter flavored cooking spray. Take remaining Tablespoon of sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon and mix. Sprinkle on tops of pies. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes or until browned.

NOTE: What I did is make a total of 5 individual pies by flattening out the biscuits and then on one of the biscuits I put my pie filling and then put the other flattened biscuit on top and sealed the edges with a fork. I counted one pie as 3 pts that way.

You can switch it and use whatever type of fruit/pie filling you have, such as lemon, blueberry, cherry, pumpkin, apple, etc..
