Preparation
Heat oven to 450°F. Place cookie sheet in oven while oven preheats. Place pie crust in 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom as directed on box for One-Crust Filled Pie. Bake on preheated cookie sheet 7 minutes.
Meanwhile, in large bowl, mix 1/2 cup brown sugar, the ginger, cornstarch and cinnamon until blended. Add apples; toss until evenly coated.
In crust-lined pan, arrange apples in concentric circles, overlapping slices and using all of apples, beginning at outside edge and working toward center.
Cover top of tart with foil; place on preheated cookie sheet. Bake 40 minutes. Remove foil; bake 8 to 10 minutes longer or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown. Place tart pan on cooling rack; cool 30 minutes while making sauce.
