Calvados
Measured by weight; apple brandy density not needed.
Instead of Calvados
Nothing fully gives calvados's apple-and-oak character; brandy is the nearest.
Brandy or rumUse the same volume; brandy is closest, rum adds sweetness. No apple note, so add a little grated apple if the dish allows.
Dry white wineUse 1.5 times the volume and simmer to reduce by half; less alcoholic and no apple-brandy depth.
AppleUse a spoon of grated or puréed apple plus a splash of brandy or rum; only for sweet or fruity dishes.
