I'm not a fan of maple syrup and sorghum is getting hard to find around
here (unlike 70+ years ago when I wore a younger man's clothes and most
towns in central Illinois had their own sorghum processing facility, So,
I use honey if doing liquid sweetener. Or jams/jellies/preserves.

I recently discovered a new (to me) apple called the "Cosmic Crisp". 
It's certainly crisp and it's also pretty sweet without being overly
so. I bought some to use in a Copy Cat chicken salad I was making. It
was pretty good. And the apples are good "eating" apples. If I'd had
some of them to give to my teachers when I was in school I might have
been cut more slack if I got rowdy or rambunctious.  Bv)=

Here's a recipe in which I used the cosmic crisp apples. It works as a
sandwich filling or plated on a lettuce leaf as a salad. Oh, and not
noted in the recipe - I've subbed craisins for the grapes.

      Title: Arby's Grilled Chicken & Pecan Salad
 Categories: Poultry, Fruits, Nuts, Citrus
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      1 c  Diced red apple *
      1 tb Lemon juice
  2 1/2 c  Grilled chicken breast;
           - diced 1/4" *
      1 c  Halved grapes
    1/2 c  Chopped celery
      1 c  Chopped pecans
    1/2 c  (to 3/4 c) mayonnaise
           Salt & pepper
           Lettuce leaves; opt
           Thick-sliced wheat bread;
           - opt
 
  * I used a "Cosmic Crisp" apple which worked nicely.
  I have also used shredded rotisserie chicken. -- UDD
  
  Place the diced apples in a medium-sized bowl. Add one
  tablespoon of lemon juice and stir to coat the apples to
  prevent them from turning brown.
  
  Add the chicken, grapes, celery, and pecans to the bowl
  and mix well.
  
  Add 1/2 cup mayonnaise and stir to combine. If the
  mixture is too dry you can add another 1/4 cup of
  mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  
  Allow the flavors to marry in a covered bowl in the
  refrigerator for about 1 hour before serving.
  
  If you would like to serve the chicken salad as a
  sandwich, place about 1 cup of chicken salad and a few
  lettuce leaves between two thick slices of wheat bread.
  
  NOTES: While Arby's does not toast their pecans, you
  could easily bring this salad to the next level by
  toasting the pecans in a skillet on medium-high heat
  until fragrant. Allow the pecans to cool completely
  before adding them to the salad.
