Error when tar extract

I've got this Files.tgz containing

Fruits/Apple.txt
Drinks/Soda.txt
Drinks/Pepsi.txt

I would like to extract all files/directories with pattern "Fruits".

So, what I did was

tar -xvf File.tgz `tar -tf Files.tgz | grep 'Fruits'`

However, output is:-

Files/Fruits
Files/Fruits/Apple.txt
tar: Files/Fruits/Apple.txt: Not found in archive
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Does anyone know why this is happening and what do I do to not get those errors? Thanks.
