Can sugar make an apple to rot?

Fruits such as apples and pears will rot if exposed to certain fungi. These fungi are relatively weak but can attack damaged or overly ripened fruit. When fruits such as apples ripen, they give off a gas called ethylene. Ethylene gas accelerates the ripening process, which will lead to over ripening. Taking certain precautions to prevent exposure to fungi and over ripening will prevent the rotting of the fruit. Washing the fruit in lemon juice and/or storing the fruit in airtight containers and removing rotting fruit are examples of ways to prevent rotting
