I have a bottle of Coquerel Calvados sitting around that I have used for both French Apple Cakes as well as things like applesauce etc. I don't think it is the best, it was just the best our grocery store had when I bought it, but for both of those applications it fit the bill perfectly. I'm not sure I'd use it to sip like a fine brandy, there are probably other much better Calvados out there for that, but the Coquerel I think is readily available, not too expensive, and is fine for cooking.
