Catholics believe in what Protestants call the Apocrypha. However, Catholics do not call these books the Apocrypha, they are the Deuterocanonical Scriptures because they are the Word of God, and have been since the 4 century B.C. The Apocrypha are those books which were not accepted into the Canon- attached below is a complete list of the Apocrypha.

How are the books in the Apocrypha used today by both Catholics and Protestants?

Martin Luther, the famous reformer, translated the Apocrypha. I recall having heard that he didn't find the Apocrypha an important source of dogma, but recommended studying them.However, the Apocrypha like Maccabees aren't a source of dogma for the Lutherans, and they aren't spoken of in sermons etc.Apocrypha are those books and stories which were not accepted into the Christian protestant Bible (although some of these were included in the Catholic bible, such as Esdras I and II, for example).
