Core and dice the red apple into small cubes, leaving the skin on for color and texture, and add to the bowl with the chicken.
Chop the celery stalk into small pieces for added crunch and add it to the mixing bowl.
Add the dried cranberries to the bowl with the chicken, apple, and celery.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a creamy, tangy dressing.
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and gently stir until everything is evenly coated.
Slice the sub rolls horizontally and lay a large lettuce leaf inside each roll.
Spoon the orchard chicken salad mixture onto the lettuce-lined sub rolls, dividing it evenly between the two sandwiches.
