- It's dehydrated, so there's no water:
- It has a very, very high sugar content. Like salt, huge concentrations of sugar are resistant to mould (again, because it sucks out water, disrupting the cellular structure of anything nasty that tries to grow on it).

Dried fruit has no water in it. So the fruit lasts longer and won't rot because of the absence of water, Moisture makes things go mouldy. No moisture, no mould.
