Add potatoes and onions to stew, cover and cook until vegetables are almost tender, 30-45 minutes. Add apples, cover and cook until potatoes are tender. Stir butter and flour in small bowl to form paste, add to pot and blend. Stir in mustard, 2 t sage, 1 T Calvados. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium, simmer until thickened, stirring frequently, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat. (Optional- splash with Calvados, stir.)
