Instructions:

13. Put the cake back in the oven and set it to the grill function for an additional 3 minutes to achieve a lovely golden crust.
14. Let the cake cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your sumptuous Golden Crust Apple Tea Cake with a hot beverage or as a delightful dessert.
Cooking Tips:
- If you do not have vanilla sugar, you can use 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract as a substitute.
- Ensure the eggs are at room temperature to achieve the fluffiest texture.
- The grill function at the end of baking is what creates the golden crust. Keep a close eye on the cake during this step to prevent burning.
