This is tutorial on modeling 3D Apple ® Logo modeled by Saeed Kazemi. I'm not good as the author but tried to express what he did in simple manner.

1. Step 1:

   Front plane >> sketch.
   

   

2. Step 2:

   Draw this profile using spline tool. If needed use fit spline tool.
   

   

3. Step 3:

   Revolve the profile.
   

   

4. Step 4:

   We have the Apple body.
   

   

5. Step 5:

   Select the sketch again and click Extruded boss.
   

   

6. Step 6:

   Select the contour of leaf.
   

   

7. Step 7:

   Extrude it by mid-plane.
   

   

8. Step 8:

   Front plane >> Sketch.
   

   

9. Step 9:

   Draw a circle.
   

   

10. Step 10:

    Extruded cut by through all in both direction. Click OK and we have bited the Apple.
    

    

11. Step 11:

    Click Dome tool.
    

    

12. Step 12:

    Select both faces of the leaves and create a dome feature.
    

    

13. Step 13:

    Front plane >> Sketch.
    

    

14. Step 14:

    Convert entities.
    

    

15. Step 15:

    Convert all sketches.
    

    

16. Step 16:

    Mirror the apple profile. And generate a fit spline using the apple profile.
    

    

17. Step 17:

    Trim the bite.
    

    

18. Step 18:

    Scale entities.
    

    

19. Step 19:

    Scale down the sketch about the centre of the line.
    

    

20. Step 20:

    Zoom in little bit.
    

    

21. Step 21:

    Create fit spline for the whole apple profile and delete the center line.
    

    

22. Step 22:

    Extruded cut form surface plane. Select the apple surface as the surface and blind cut.
    

    

23. Step 23:

    Click OK and the apple logo is generated.
