Today I brewed an American Cream Ale that I plan on turning into a red apple ale,my initial plan is to add 1 gallon of fresh juiced Apple juice when I go to secondary and let sit 2 weeks before bottling. Am I okay to add the Apple juice to secondary or should I wait until just before bottling?
 
Apple juice will cause fermentation to kick back up. It will also dry the beer out. Apple juice is pretty much sugar water. It may take awhile for the beer to reach its full potential because of this. Check out graff here on the forums.

You could always add apple concentrate. This way you are pretty much making a redds apple ale.
