use tr

echo "Apple banana mango grapes" | tr -s ' ' '\n'  > output

or sourced from file

tr -s ' ' '\n' <file > output

With pure Bash:

set -o noglob
printf '%s\n' $(< file)

The set -o noglob is necessary to prevent pathname expansion (globbing) after $(< file) is expanded.

You can use cat stack.txt | tr ' ' '\n' >outfile.txt

or just cat stack.txt | tr ' ' '\n' for outputting on the terminal
