2 cups apple cider
½ cup orange juice
3 cinnamon sticks
2 honeycrisp apples, sliced
1 orange, sliced
½ cup brandy

Instructions

Slice the apples and orange and set them aside.
In a large pitcher, combine the wine (Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Grigio), apple cider, and orange juice.
Add the cinnamon sticks to infuse the sangria with a warm spice.
Stir in the brandy for an added kick.
Gently fold in the sliced apples and oranges, allowing the fruits to soak up the flavors.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
