cinnamon? >>

Yes. Cassia is the cinnamon that you buy in the supermarket. It is harsher in 
flavor than true cinnamon with a pronounced bite and a lingering bitterness 
in the aftertaste. In stick form, it is very thick bark that resembles a 
closed 3 when looked at on end and is darker in color than true cinnamon.

True cinnamon has a much subtler taste with a finish that is decidedly sweet 
with little or no harshness or bitterness.  The stick is usually a continuous 
roll of paper thin sheets that crumble easily when pressure is applied. It 
looks circular on end and is lighter in color than cassia.

These are likely the 2 different cinnamon's that your recipe calls for.

Hope this helps.
