From gourmetsleuth web site 1 stick of true cinnamon = 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon = 1/8th teaspoon cinnamon extract From the Cook's Thesaurus One part flavoring oil is roughly equivalent to four parts extract, but this may vary according to the products used. To be safe, begin by substituting 1/8 teaspoon of oil per teaspoon of extract, then add more drops of oil until you're satisfied with the flavor. So 1 tsp of cinnamon extract = 1/8 tsp of cinnamon oil = 4 tsp ground cinnamon = 8 sticks of true cinnamon
Cinnamon
Yes, cinnamon oil is made from real cinnamon sticks. You can make cinnamon oil from real cinnamon sticks using olive oil and a jar yourself, which can take up to three weeks. http://www.ehow.com/how_4712450_make-cinnamon-oil.html

Believe it or not, I heard on CBC this morning that it is used so the bag doesn't explode. Unbelievable!
One cinnamon stick yields approximately 1/2 tsp. of ground cinnamon. So, 4 tsp. ground cinnamon = 8 cinnamon sticks.
I'm not aware of any difference. Decades ago terms like "finely powdered" were standardized terms that referred to the size of pharmacist's sieve the product could pass through. Today, though, I'm not aware of any difference between "cinnamon powder" and "ground cinnamon".
The amount of powdered cinnamon you get from a cinnamon stick is a little more than the stick itself. As cinnamon is ground, it's dry properties cause it to absorb moisture out of the air, and that causes the appearance of more ground cinnamon. You will usually get about one teaspoon of ground cinnamon from a cinnamon stick.
Actually, that is what you should use. The brown coloring in Apple Butter does not come from ground cinnamon. It comes from cooking the apple sauce for many, many hours. My family has been making Apple Butter in a copper kettle over an open fire for many decades.
Ground cinnamon is more potent in flavor and aroma compared to cinnamon sticks. Ground cinnamon is often used in baking and cooking to add a strong cinnamon flavor, while cinnamon sticks are milder and are commonly used in simmering liquids like soups, stews, and mulled drinks to infuse a subtle cinnamon taste.
Ground cinnamon is infact different then cinnamon powder. Ground cinnamon in not and worn down and "soft" as cinnamon powder. if a recipie says to put in ground cinnamon make sure the label says " cinnamon powder " or vice versa.
