butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds flavor complexity while brown sugar is often cheaper.

raisins

🥗Healthier: dried cranberries

💰Cheaper: chopped apples

Dried cranberries add tartness while chopped apples are often less expensive.

vanilla extract

🥗Healthier: vanilla bean

💰Cheaper: vanilla powder

Vanilla powder can be cheaper and still provide flavor.

Pour 2 tablespoons of water into a small sauce pot.

Add 1 cup of sugar on top of the water in the pot.

Turn the heat on high and boil the sugar uncovered.

Brush the sides of the pot with water to keep it clean as the sugar cooks.

Wait until the sugar turns a light amber color.

Let the caramelized sugar cool down for a few minutes.

Prepare a tray lined with parchment paper for the caramel springs.

Grease the handle of a wooden spoon with vegetable oil.

Use the spoon to create or shape the caramel springs by letting the sugar stretch.

Loosen the springs while they are still a little flexible.

Serve the strudel with a generous piping of whipped cream on the side.
