Cardamom Oat Crisp Topping:
¼ cup rolled oats
½ cup oat flour
¼ cup almond meal or almond flour
4 tablespoons dark brown sugar
4 tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground cardamom (from about 2-3 pods – I grind mine in a coffee maker)
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed

Cardamom Pear Filling:
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
5 pears, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch thick slices (I used an mixture of Bartlett, Bosc, and Comice pears to get a combination of soft, crisp, and sweet)

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground cardamom from 4-6 pods)
2 teaspoons corn starch
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Juice of 1 lemon
