In a large stockpot over medium heat add all of the ingredients above except for the ginger beer, wine, and apples.
Cook mixture for 20-25 minutes. Cranberries will burst during the cooking process.
Strain all solids from the liquid and allow it to completely cool. Then pour the mixture into a pitcher and add the additional cranberries and sliced apples. Allow the sangria to chill a few hours(or overnight) in the refrigerator. Add the ginger beer and wine just before serving.
