General information, not a substitute for advice from your doctor or dietitian.

Fructose is per 100g of dried apricots. Drying removes water and concentrates the sugar, so the per-100g figure is far higher than fresh apricots. A normal serving is a small handful, and fresh fruit is much lower in fructose by weight.

How much can I eat?

A typical serving is about 140 g, which delivers 25 mg of purines, about 6% of a normal day's purine budget.
