[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 90572, member: 1963"] Applejack is America's version of a liqueur called "calvados". It's a strong brandy made of apples instead of grapes. Try websearching under "Calvados" instead. You should be able to find some other brands. Calvados, like cognac, is rated under the "V" system with VS being the lowest grade and VSOP being the highest. For kitchen use, VS would be just fine. I should also think that you could use cheap cognac (Hennessy) and some applejuice concentrate as a substitute though it would make the pie sweeter. Also, whisky once opened does not "keep" forever. It oxidizes which impacts the flavor and the alcohol evaporates out. [/QUOTE]
