  2. In a large bowl, toss pear cubes with sugar, flour, cinnamon and cardamom. Once thoroughly mixed, toss in pomegranate seeds and let sit while you make the crumble.
  3. In a bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, gingersnaps, flour, cardamom and cinnamon. Add softened butter and vanilla, and mix thoroughly with a fork or your hands until it becomes clumped together.
