Directions
Milk Jam:
Combine milk, sugar and baking soda in a large saucepan and heat over medium.
Add scraped seeds and split vanilla bean.
Bring to a simmer and stir to dissolve the sugar.
Once sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to a low simmer. Stir occasionally and allow mixture to reduce to about 1 1/4 cups.
Mixture will darken in color and reduce in approximately two hours. There may be some separation.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer. Store in a sealed container and refrigerate.
Apple Filling Directions:
Peel and medium dice the apples. Place in a medium bowl and toss with lemon juice.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
Add apples and remaining ingredients and combine until apples are well coated.
Cook until apples begin to just soften. Set aside and allow to cool.
Assemble:
Lightly dust the work surface with cornstarch to help wrappers from sticking.
Layout 4-6 wrappers at a time.
