Apple Spice fall sangria recipe

If you don’t have cognac, don’t sweat it. You’ll still get ALL the flavors. I served mine in these cute mason jars. I love to use them for my parties. You can easily pick them up from just about any store (including thrift stores!) and they make everything seem more down home and casual. No stuffy wine glasses here!

Also, how cute are those corn husk luminaries!? I just bought a bunch of corn husks and used a decorative punch to make a pattern on the “leaves.” I attached them to the tall plain glass candles with a little bit of hot glue and layered them all the way around. They look so “fall” to me.
