Warm the milk lukewarm. Dissolve 50 g sugar and yeast in it. Put the flour in a bowl and press a depression in the middle. Pour in the yeast milk, mix with part of the flour to a thick paste. Cover the dough and leave to rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. Add egg yolks, eggs, salt and 60 g butter to the pre-dough and knead to a smooth dough.
Cover and leave to rise again in a warm place for about 30 minutes. Form the dough into a long roll on a floured work surface with floured hands, cut into 12 equally sized pieces. Form pieces into dumplings and put them into 12 greased, ovenproof espresso cups. Cover the dumplings and let them rise again for 10-15 minutes. Melt 30 g butter. Brush the pastries with butter. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for 15-20 minutes, cover if necessary at the end. Cut lemon in half and squeeze. Peel apples, quarter them, remove seeds, cut them into slices and mix with lemon juice. Caramelise 80 g sugar in a pan. Sauté apple slices in it, add vanilla pulp, star anise and cinnamon, deglaze with white wine and simmer for about 5 minutes.
