Steps:

• Set the cubed butter on a plate and place it in the freezer for 15 minutes. Fill a cup with ice and water and set aside. Place 1 1/2 of the flour, 1 8 teaspoon of the salt, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Take the butter out of the freezer and add it to the flour. Pulse the mixture until it looks like wet sand, about 10 seconds. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the ice water and pulse until the dough comes together into a ball.
• Lightly flour your work surface and place the dough on top. Then lightly flour the top of the dough and roll to about a 10- to 11-inch circle, sprinkling more flour under and on top of the dough as necessary. Gently drape the dough over the rolling pin and transfer it to a 9- or 9 1/2-inch fluted tart pan (ideally one with a removable bottom). Fit the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pan as evenly as possible and press off excess dough from the fluted rim. Set the tart pan on a baking sheet and place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350degreesF. Peel, core, and quarter the apples and then thinly slice them lengthwise. Place the apples in a large bowl and toss with the lemon juice, the cinnamon, and the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 8 teaspoon salt. Remove the baking sheet with the tart shell from the refrigerator. Arrange the apples in concentric circles so they overlap slightly. Brush the edges of the crust with the melted butter and then bake until the edges are golden and the apples have cooked down, about 1 hour. Cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• Pulse the flour, baking powder, salt and 2 tablespoons of the sugar in a food processor to combine. Add the butter and process until pea-size pieces. Whisk together the cream and crème fraiche in a measuring cup or small bowl until smooth. Remove the top of the food processor and add the cream mixture (do not use the food processor feed tube). Secure the top and pulse until the dough just comes together. Transfer to a piece of plastic wrap, pat into a 12-by-8-inch rectangle and wrap tightly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
• Cut 2 pieces of parchment to fit a baking sheet. Place the dough between the parchment and roll into a 12-by-18-inch rectangle. Transfer to the freezer to firm up, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, peel the apples and reserve the peels. Slice off the cheeks of each apple and reserve, leaving the core. Cut the cores in half and add to a medium pot along with the peels, 1 cup of the sugar and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower to a strong simmer and cook, pushing down on the cores with a wooden spoon or potato masher to break them apart as they soften, until the liquid reduces to about 1/2 cup, about 30 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, pressing the solids with a wooden spoon to extract all of the liquid. Set aside the liquid and compost or discard the solids.
• Meanwhile, cut the apple cheeks into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Transfer the dough on the parchment to a rimmed baking sheet. Remove the top piece of parchment. Shingle the apple slices on the dough in 4 lengthwise rows, leaving a 1/2-inch border of dough all the way around. Sprinkle the apples and border with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Bake until the dough is lightly golden around the edges, about 45 minutes.
• Drizzle the apples with half of the apple syrup and return the tart to the oven to bake until the dough is dark golden brown, about 15 minutes more. Let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
• Drizzle the tart with the remaining apple syrup. Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of crème fraiche.

Steps:

• To make the tart:
• Roll out the dough 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable fluted rim. Prick the shell with a fork and chill it for at least 30 minutes or, covered, overnight. Line the shell with foil, fill the foil with the rice, and bake the shell in the lower third of a preheated 425°F. oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and the rice carefully, bake the shell 10 minutes more, or until it is pale golden, and let it cool in the pan on a rack.
• In a bowl stir together the apples, peeled, cored, and cut into eighths, the lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of the sugar and toss the mixture until the apples are coated well. In a large bowl whisk together the yolks, the cream, 2 1/2 tablespoons of the remaining sugar, a pinch of salt, and the vanilla and stir in the raisins. Arrange the apples decoratively in the shell, pour the cream mixture over them, and sprinkle the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon over it. Bake the tart in the middle of a preheated 375°F. oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a cake tester, let it cool in the pan on a rack, and remove the rim.
• To make the pâte brisée:
• In a large bowl blend the flour, the butter, the vegetable shortening, and the salt until the mixture resembles meal. Add 2 tablespoons ice water, toss the mixture until the water is incorporated, adding more ice water if necessary to form a dough, and form the dough into a ball. Dust the dough with flour and chill it, wrapped in wax paper, for 1 hour.
