Sugars & Sweeteners
Substitutes for Apple Sugar (66%) in gelato
Apple sugar is a fruit-derived sweetener made by concentrating and spray-drying apple juice, usually with a maltodextrin carrier, giving a roughly 99% solids powder that is about 66% natural apple sugars. In gelato it works as a fructose-rich natural sweetener that raises anti-freezing power and adds a soft, mildly fruity character. Closest matches on the balancing numbers, ranked.
