Sounds good to me.  I make it as follows (ridiculously easy):

3 to 4 lbs of peeled, cored, and quartered apples. I use granny smith, fuji,
or stayma-winesap apples, or a combination of all three. (Make sure you use a
good cooking apple.)
4 strips of lemon peel - use a vegetable peeler to strip 4 lengths
Juice of one lemon
3 inches of cinnamon stick
1/4 cup of dark brown sugar (Optional)
1 cup apple juice

Add as many chiles as you want, whole or chopped (whatever)

Put all ingredients into a large pot. Cover. Bring to boil. Lower heat and
simmer for 20-30 minutes.

2 Remove from heat. Remove cinnamon sticks and lemon peels. Mash with potato
masher. 

Sounds lie the chiles would likely go really well along with the cinnamon
(Especially with vanilla Ice cream!)
