Sugar doesn't cause anything. Organisms that use sugar cause things. In the case of rotting fruit, microorganisms of various types are likely consuming the sugar contained in the fruit. Thus, the rot is better said to be caused by microorganisms.
In some cases, sugar actually helps slow or prevent the rotting process. When sugar ferments, it converts to alcohol, which in turn can kill a number of microorganisms. That is one way trees protect themselves in the winter. The sap rises, and if it ferments, it functions as an anti-microbial and an antifreeze.

Does apple color affect the time it takes to rot?

Can you make sugar from apples?
Yes, sugar can be made from apples through a process called juicing and then extracting the natural sugars from the apple juice.
Does malic acid add sugar to apples?
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.
