You have the beginnings of a good idea here, but it needs more than just a lone apple stem. It is a bit boring this way. Try to find something to pair it with. If you can pick your own apples find one that has a leaf with it, or set up 2 or 3 apples so the stems come together in a nice natural way. Or just forget the stem and shoot several apples (or fruit) side by side but close enough not to show the whole fruit. Sort of like where 3 apples come together in a pile. That you can also do from all sorts of angles.

If you don't mind moving away from an all natural image you can find other small objects to place in the area that the stem goes into the apple. A small stone would be a natural item, or go for something away from nature and use something like a marble. Small people figures could be used to make a working type scene.
