In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
Place the shredded kale in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the dressing.
Massage the kale with clean hands for 2-3 minutes until the leaves are softened and reduced in volume.
Add the sliced Honeycrisp apples, toasted almonds, and dried cranberries to the bowl.
Drizzle the remaining dressing over the salad and toss thoroughly to coat.
Garnish with shaved Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
