In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast. Let it stand for 5-10 minutes In a saucepan, cook the milk and butter in low heat until the butter is melted. Stir into the yeast and water. Let it stand for three minutes. Stir in the sugar and salt. Add the flour gradually until dough forms. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes. Place in bowl and cover for about 1 hour. To make filling, blend all the ingriedients until well mixed. Punch the dough and roll it out. Cut them into 4" squares. Spread filling into the center of each square and fold into triangles. Pinch their edges. Place triangles on a greased baking sheet and cover for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Bake pockets until golden--about ten minutes. Yield: 5 turnovers. You might want to substitute other jams and fruit for the apple.
