Preparation

Step 1
Place flour, 4 tablespoons of butter, 1 tablespoon of sugar and a pinch of salt in a food processor and pulse for 10 seconds. The mixture should have the consistency of coarse meal.
Step 2
With the machine running, pour in enough water so that a ball of dough begins to form. Stop the machine immediately. Gather the dough into a ball, divide in half, wrap in plastic and chill for 2 hours.
Step 3
On a floured board, roll each portion of dough into a very thin circle and fit into two 7- or 8-inch loose-bottomed tart pans. The dough circles should just fit into the bottoms of the pans.
Step 4
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Step 5
Sprinkle apples with lemon juice and arrange slices, slightly overlapping, on pastry. Mix remaining sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle about ⅓ of it over the apples. Sprinkle with heavy cream, dot with remaining butter and sprinkle with remaining sugar-cinnamon. Bake 30 minutes. Remove sides of pan and serve hot.
