Place rack in the lower third of your oven and preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat a 9-inch by 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Combine the all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour in a large bowl. Add granulated sugar, baking powder and salt, stirring to combine.
Cut Cabot Unsalted Butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
In another small bowl, whisk egg until combined. Then whisk in ½ cup of the buttermilk or milk and the lemon juice. Stir the egg-milk mixture into dry ingredients just until a soft dough is formed, adding additional milk if needed.
In a large bowl, toss together the apples, brown sugar, lemon zest, cornstarch and remaining 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. Spread the apple mixture in prepared dish and top with Cabot Sharp Cheddar cheese.
Drop the dough in large mounds on top of apples, spreading to edges. Sprinkle with toasted almonds and demerara or turbinado sugar, if desired.
Bake in lower third of oven for 40 to 50 minutes or until topping is golden brown and apples are bubbling and tender when pierced with a knife (cover topping loosely with a sheet of foil if browning too quickly).
