No Demerara sugar - White Ceramic Mug With Black Liquid

I have just made an apple pie with a crumble topping for friends coming to lunch. The recipe specified Demerara sugar but I had run out so used dark soft brown instead. I think soft has more moisture in it. Will swapping sugars be a problem in the crumble topping? What differences should I expect?
