To assemble slaw: In a bowl toss together the apple slices and lemon juice. Stand a small drinking glass in center of a deep-sided serving platter. Working around glass in circular fashion, line platter with shredded cabbage. Arrange the orange slices, cucumber slices, fennel slices, and apple wedges so the cabbage-lined platter resembles a wreath. Pour half of the dressing over slaw. Cover slaw with plastic wrap and chill up to 2 hours.
