Apple Cinnamon Fall Beer

[Brew_and_ride]

So my wife approaches me the other today and asks "so what are you going to brew me for the fall?". I asked her if she had something in mind and she asks me if there is any way I could incorporate apples and cinnamon in a beer. I have pondered on this for a few days trying to figure out what base style would support that flavor combination and I have decided on an American Brown Ale. I figured that maltiness/biscuity characteristics would go well with the flavor combo she is asking for.

My grain bill consists of pale 2-row as my base malt and then 5-10% of each of the following:
Victory, Rye Chocolate, Caramel 80, Caramel 20, and Malanoiden.

I will be using willamette and magnum hops keeping my IBU around 38.

I was thinking of adding 5lbs of sliced apples and a cinnamon stick during a secondary.

Please let me know your thoughts. Is this a good base to try this with? More or less apples and cinnamon? Thanks!

How did you do? Was one cinnamon stick enough?

if it doesn't work out,next time use apple cider instead of apples.

Could do a Graff with cinamon. I'd do 3-4 cinamon sticks.
