Preheat oven to 375 F and lightly grease an 8x8 inch square baking pan.
Combine the flour, Quaker old fashion oats, brown sugar, almonds, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Add in pieces of the butter and squeeze them into the flour oat mixture. Stir in the crystallized ginger and set aside.
Meanwhile, combine the pears, brown sugar, maple syrup, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, ginger and vanilla. Toss to coat. Put into the baking dish and top with the crisp.
Bake for about 35-40 minutes or until the pears are tender and the topping is golden brown. Serve warm or cold with ice cream.
