Remove any outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the medium head in half and shred it into thin slices.
Quarter the apples, remove the cores, and slice into ¼-inch pieces. Add to the bowl with the cabbage.

Combine dressing ingredients in a jar, shake vigorously until well-emulsified.
Add half of the parmesan cheese to the bowl, pour dressing over, and toss gently. Let sit for 10 minutes.
