I get a grape vinegar from a Persan/Middle Eastern grocery that I like very much--and I think you could use it wherever you would use an apple vinegar.
I don't think there is a true substitute for apple cider vinegar, because there is that faint hint of apples in it, and gentle sweetness. I think that you can come closes to that effect by using rice vinegar with a sprinkle of brown sugar or a drop of honey.
Those recipes may ask for it, but not truly require it.
[Only time vinegar is a strict requirement is in pickling.]
Depending on the case, use another vinegar with a flavor you like & compatible with the ingredients.
And/or add a liitle bit of fruit juice to the recipw in addition to your vinegar replacement.
I will have to try out other vinegars. I'm allergic to a lot of fruit actually, I can only have berries and citrus. I do have red wine, white wine and rice vinegar on hand most of the time. I will try them. Thank you!
