Place sugar and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Scrape in vanilla bean seeds and add whole pod to pan. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add apricots and cook until just tender and skin begins to pull away from fruit, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, lift apricots from syrup; transfer to a plate. Return syrup to a boil and cook until thickened slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. When apricots are cool enough to handle, peel away skins.
