Delicious flavors of fall apples, touch of cinnamon and citrus! This refreshing fall sangria can easily be considered a starter dish with all that fruit in there! Just kidding! Serve with a delicious cheese platter and you all set for your first appetizer course.

An Apple a Day!

I personally think that apples are delicious. Any fresh apples make a healthy snack! Baking apples are tasty in desserts! Tart apples are perfect for savory dishes, such as Thanksgiving stuffing.

Take advantage of seasonal ingredients!

Apples, oranges and pomegranates are abundant and in season this time of the year. I incorporate them into as recipes or simply enjoy eating them as much as possible during this time.

Notes

To prepare a mock version of this tasty fall sangria, eliminate the apple brandy and the sparkling wine. Substitute apple brandy with 1 cup apple juice and sparkling wine with 750 ml of sparkling white grape juice.
