Yes, it's a scam.
I’d say scam...why would apple be AppIe?

Wee giveaway..plus it’s all in dollars.

If you didn’t purchase anything and you know you didn’t AVOID.
SCAM! SCAM! SCAM!

DO NOT click on any link (such as 'Cancel Transaction'), as it's likely to dump lots of nasty stuff onto your computer. (You might be safe if you're using your iPad, as malware is usually designed to attack Windows computers, but it's still better not to risk it).
Its a scam. Ignore. Dont click any links. delete.
Queen has spotted it. They can't even type Apple.

PS:

I'd be prepared to be that the email addresses you as 'Dear Customer', or similar, (or possibly by whatever comes before the @ symbol in your email address), rather than by your real name.
^^^ be = bet !!!

They did address it to my email address.
When you say you cannot cancel it - you didn't click anything did you?
Anything addressing you by your email address is a scam. Ignore the lot.
Question Author
It actually addresses me by my email right at the start.
By email address Caran, but not by name.
Question Author
Yes and name.
when two poppies agree...
Probably safest to close it (keep it closed if it is already) and delete on the email inbox menu, rather than delete when it's open.
Fraudsters often can't be bothered to generate (fake) document numbers for every email they send out. That can help you to find out whether it's a scam or not.

For example, simply googling the Order ID ( 'M2MNSYJ056' ) from the email you've received leads straight to this (with an idntical reference number being quoted):
