Ingredients
4appleschopped
2cupspear flavored vodka
3tablespoonscaramel sauce

Instructions
Mix alcohol, cider, and fruit. Add the chopped apples to a large (1 gallon or larger) pitcher or drink dispenser. Then, pour in the pear-flavored vodka, caramel sauce, white wine, and apple cider. Stir well to combine. After that, place the pitcher in the fridge and let it chill for 2-4 hours so the flavors mix together.
Garnish and serve. Right before serving, stir the mixture again to ensure the caramel is well distributed. Then, add the cinnamon sticks and club soda, gently stirring to mix. Serve over ice, garnishing each glass with an additional cinnamon stick if desired. Optionally, add a slice of pear or apple for extra flair.

Notes
For the best flavor and texture, use crisp, sweet apples like Honeycrisp or Fuji, and chop them into bite-sized pieces to infuse well with the liquids.If you can't find pear vodka, you can add 1/4 cup of pear nectar, which is available in the international section of the grocery store.I used jarred caramel sauce, which is typically used to top ice cream in this sangria. Just a heads-up - caramel sauce tends to settle at the bottom, so make sure to stir the sangria well before serving to distribute the sweetness evenly.The type of wine you use is not really important, as long as it's white wine. Dry or sweet will both work, it doesn't really make a difference.
