The aforementioned beer-fridge controller board would replace the IIe. I have the board layout done, but haven't sent it out for fabrication yet. It will use a 65C02 (of course) and will include 32K ROM, 8K RAM, a 128x64 bitmapped-graphics LCD, a 12- or 16-key keypad (depending on what I can get), a speaker for beeps and buzzes, and a 1-Wire interface (with a 1-WireRTC with battery backup onboard).
You probably know this and just want to play with an Apple-2 inspired design, but this is a natural application for a microcontroller like Atmel AVR or a Motorola 6805 that is a close relative of 6502.
