Quarter apples: slice thinly crosswise. Toss in a bowl with vanilla sugar and lemon juice. Let stand while preparing batter.
In a large bowl, beat egg yolks, milk, half-and-half or cream, ant butter. Sift together flour and salt, then whisk into egg yolk mixture until smooth. In a tablespoon, combine baking soda and vinegar: stir into the batter. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
