Insert component into another component

To start, I'm a beginner and new to CAD in general.  I've created an apple with two components, the apple and the stem.  The idea is to have them as two separate components so that I can 3d print them in 2 different colors.  What I'm struggling to do is figure out how I can cut the apple out so the stem fits into the the apple.  I'm trying to do a "join" as a cut, but all that does is cuts the hole out of the apple and the stem disappears.  I really feel like this should be easy to figure out, but my youtubing is coming up empty.  Thanks for any help.
