Turn off heat and add the Cinnamon and thinly sliced apples and steep for 15 minutes. Strain out apples and add 3 gallons of cold water to your sterilized fermenter while adding the wort. Top up to 5 gallons and add yeast when cool.
Ferment at 68 degrees or so. Primary 7 days. Move to secondary and ferment at cooler temperature for 10 days. Rack beer off sediment and prime with 2/3 cup of corn sugar and bottle.
This beer has a medium body with a hint of apple flavor. It is very smooth with little or no bitterness or hop flavor. That can be changed by adding some noble hops like Saaz to to boil or at the finish.
