Puzzle: The Three Mislabeled Boxes

In a warehouse there are three closed boxes. One contains only apples, one contains only pears, and the third contains a mix of apples and pears.

The boxes are labeled:

• Apples
• Pears
• Apples and Pears

Unfortunately, every single label is wrong (all are mixed up/swapped). You are allowed to take exactly one piece of fruit from just one box, without looking inside beforehand.

How can you then correctly label all three boxes?
