A shiny red apple
Apples belong to school days and autumn. Ours has a dip at the top where the stem sits.

The apple is bright red with a white shine on one side. The stem is short and wide and the leaf leans to the side. Teachers can print it for a whole class, because the template is free for school and the round outline is easy enough for most primary kids with some help.
The stem is chunky. No worries there.
