End result tasted pretty good.
After 8 hours, here are the results.
At absolutely (unrealistically) best, it increased the mix to 20% ABV, though is likely to be significantly less effective, and I can't attempt to begin to guesstimate the real outcome.

Historical fermentations tended to be between 2%-7% alcohol by volume, so I took apple cider, and added 7 shots of fireball to bring the total abv to 5%
I then weighed the entire mixture to calculate how much water was removed, giving me a rough idea of the end abv

Unfortunately, letting apple cider naturally ferment produces methanol and other poisonous forms of alcohol, so that's out. And there's exactly one commercial distillery in the US that still makes a form of it.
So, I'm tried to make an approximation.
