Apple brandy is an alcoholic spirit made from the fermentation and subsequent distillation of juice from ripe apples. This liquor is characterized by its fruity, smooth, and slightly sweet flavor, with aromatic notes typical of apples, making it ideal for use in both sweet and savory recipes.
The origin of apple brandy dates back mainly to regions with a tradition of cider production, such as some areas of Spain, France (where it is called calvados in Normandy), and Latin American countries where apples are a common fruit. However, its popularity has spread globally thanks to its versatility in gastronomy.
Among its properties, apple brandy adds an aromatic touch and a slight sweetness to desserts, sauces, and drinks, in addition to helping preserve and enhance the flavors of the ingredients it is combined with. It is rich in alcoholic compounds that should be consumed in moderation, but its natural apple essence makes it an interesting option for infusing dishes and cocktails.
In the Hispanic American world, apple brandy may also be known as aguardiente de manzana or simply apple liqueur, although the name apple brandy is the most common and understood for referring to this beverage in most recipes.
