Best Answer

No. Malic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid. Sugars are almost always cyclic hemiacetals.

Whilst it is possible for the human body to utilise malic acid as a source of energy, this does not make the acid a sugar. In fact, malic acid gives apples a sour taste so it does not even add to the sweetness of the fruit.
