Step 1

Place the diced apples, fresh cranberries, and cinnamon stick into a large pitcher. Add the simple syrup or sugar, and gently muddle with a wood spoon until the fruit is slightly bruised.

Step 2

Add apple cider, apple brandy, triple sec, and wine to the pitcher. Stir to combine.

Step 3

Place the pitcher into the fridge to chill and marinate for at least 4 hours, but 24 hours is best.

Step 4

To serve, fill a glass with ice, and pour sangria over ice. Garnish with a cinnamon stick if desired.
