- 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- Preheat oven to 350F and grease 2 (9-inch) tart pans with removable bottoms.
- Pulse butter, flour, brown sugar, and salt in a food processor until mixture begins to form small lumps.
- Divide between tart pans and press onto bottoms and up sides.
- Bake in middle of oven until pale golden, about 20 minutes.

- Peel, quarter, and core apples.
- Cut quarters crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices and toss with flour, lemon juice, and 1 cup sugar.
- Toss bread crumbs with melted butter.
- Remove tart pans from oven and divide apple mixture between crusts, gently shaking pans to settle apples.
