You will need:

Manischewitz wine, granulated sugar, apples, fresh or frozen cranberries, cinnamon, and nutmeg. (Full recipe at the bottom of this post.)

In a medium sauce pot, combine all ingredients except apples.

Bring mixture to a boil over high heat.

Reduce the heat to low and let things simmer, uncovered.

After 20 minutes, the sauce should look like this:
