This surely isn't "sugar-free" in any sense of the idea. Pineapple,
strawberries, kiwi and bananas contain sugars. Concentrated apple juice
merely concentrates the sugars, and the thickener (unless a food gum)
adds more carbs. Crumbs add to the carb load, though not to sugars
unless they've cookie or cake crumbs.

So while no white or brown sugars are added to the recipe, there are
certainly sugars in it.
