SWEET POTATO PIE-STUFFED CORNBREAD

• For the sweet potato pie filling: Boil the sweet potato whole in a saucepan in enough water to cover until tender when pierced, 20 to 25 minutes. Peel and slice.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with cooking spray.
• Combine the sweet potato, sugar, butter, cream, orange juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and egg in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and no lumps remain. Set aside.
• Make the cornbread: Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk, egg, butter and oil in a separate bowl. Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture, stirring just until the dry ingredients are moistened. (The batter will be lumpy and thick.)
• Pour the cornbread batter into the greased skillet. Spoon the sweet potato pie filling over the top in dollops. Use a wooden or metal skewer to create a marbling effect. (But do not mix in the sweet potato filling too much.)
