For the filling: Mix to combine filling ingredients. Place in the bottom of a butter greased 10-inch pan.2
For the cornbread topping: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Remove butter from the heat and stir in the milk and egg. Make sure the mixture isn’t too hot or the egg will curdle.3
