Preparation
Preheat oven to 425 °F (220 °F).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
Using a box grater on the largest holes, grate the chilled butter into the flour mixture and rub with fingertips until it resembles large flakes. Stir in cheese and apples. Make a well in the mixture and add the buttermilk. Using a fork, gently incorporate it in the flour just until combined.
Turn the dough onto a large piece of parchment paper and pat down into a large disk. Using the paper for help, fold the mixture onto itself 4-5 times. Pat dough down to a 1/2- inch (1 cm) thick circle.
Cut out desired shapes with biscuit cutters and place on parchment lined baking sheet. Brush tops with remaining buttermilk and bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
