Directions
Chop up the apples into small cubes, then combine all ingredients in a large pitcher. Mix it well so all of the sugar dissolves.

Place the pitcher in the refrigerator to chill. During this time the sugar will fully dissolve and the rosemary, will infuse your sangria.

While that chills, make the garnish for this drink… rosemary that looks like it is covered in snow!  To do this, simply place about 1/2 cup of granulated sugar in a shallow bowl. Lightly wet the rosemary and then give it a good shake to remove any excess water. Then roll the sprigs in the sugar until they are coated as you please.

Once the pitcher has chilled for about an hour, it should be ready to serve.
