    A family I nannies for had the same thing happen to their son when he was maybe 8 months.  He had apples with cinnamon and got the rash around mouth.  His mom was a doctor and knew to avoid cinnamon again since the rash around mouth can be first reaction and then second exposure can lead to breathing issues. They kept an epi-pen handy just in case.

     They avoided it for a few months then had allergy testing done and he was clear of cinnamon allergy.  He never reacted again after that.

    So there is a chance it was just a contact reaction not an allergy.  But, play it safe and avoid then have her tested to ensure next reaction is mild or no reaction.

    My DS1 had a cinnamon allergy.  He outgrew it around his 2nd bday.  We still have peanuts. :(
