Tom,
What is Apple Jack? I've heard of it, but don't actually know what it is.
In my part of the frozen north Schnapps was big in cold weather and ice shanties. Some guys liked to disolve those red hot candies in it.
Applejack® brandy
Applejack is a brandy distilled from hard cider or fermented apple pomace.

To make REAL old fashioned "Apple Jack", not to be confused with "Apple Brandy".
Take a gallon of Hard Cider, (Cider that has been allowed to ferment until it has a high alcohol content)
Freeze it, pour off the remaining liquid, it's just about pure apple alcohol
