It's a term for apple brandy.
Traditionally, it was made when hard cider froze. Alcohol has a lower freezing temperature than water, so it was the first part of the frozen hard cider to thaw. The first part to thaw was then collected and found to be much stronger than ther regularly fermented cider. This process is also known as "freeze distilling" or historically, "jacking"...hence Apple Jack.
Freeze distilling mulitple times can produce a concentrated cider as potent as 25-35% alcohol depending on how cold it gets(freezer, back porch in winter, etc.).

Apple Jack....was a four pack of glass bottled alcohol made by Jack Daniel's. They tasted like green granny smith apple's freshly juiced mixed with a splash of sprite and a dose of Jack....
I bought everyone I could get my hands on. Unfortunately, Jack Daniel's no longer makes or sells Apple Jacks...(due to lack of public interest is what I heard)....but they do carry...other premixed shorty's of similar type. Try Jack Daniel's Distillery on line for more info.
I assume due to you picking this category we weren't talking cereal here...lol...

It is "applejack" - one word.
That is the legal term for distilled apple brandy of at least 35% alcohol that is produced in the USA. There is only one major brand at present (Laird's) although a couple of artisan distillers also make it.

You might be referring to apple cider that has turned hard(developed an alcohol content) or apple schnapps.
