By eating the whole fruit, you're consuming the fiber, which changes how your body metabolizes the sugar (more slowly), as opposed to say, drinking a glass of apple juice.
The sugar itself between fruits and refined sugars contained in processed foods isn't all that different. Apples contain fructose, glucose, and sucrose, but in different ratios compared to table sugar. The more important factor is the quantity of sugar you're consuming.

You're adding sweet fruit in place of something else which could add more nutritional value in that same space. If you do eat fruit, then eat something which isn't sweet (tomato for example.)
