Calvados is produced from which base fruit?

Explanation:
Calvados is a French apple brandy from Normandy. It’s made by fermenting apples into cider and then distilling that cider to concentrate the flavors. So the base fruit is apples, not grapes or cherries. (Note: there are pear-based brandies and some Calvados expression types that include pears, but the classic and most common base for Calvados is apples.)
