Topiary takes a while with boxwood because it is slow growing. A book like this will explain it all to you.
[Topiary Design and Technique] (https://www.amazon.com/Topiary-Design-Technique-Christopher-Crowder/dp/1861268165/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1536113439&sr=8-1&keywords=topiary+book)

You might want to practice on faster growing plants like ivy.
The fruit that is on there is probably fine for this year. In future years when it sets heavier you will want to thin the clusters to 1-3 each (rather than the typical 3-5).
You should NOT prune your trees now unless there is a diseased or damaged branch. Pruning on apples and pears is done in the late fall and winter when the tree is dormant.
You can read this for some basics. http://ir.library.oregonstate.edu/xmlui/bitstream/handle/1957/22166/pnw400.pdf
Better bet is to buy a pruning book and learn about the basics. Couple great examples here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1564583317/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
