Note: this is a continuation of my first review. I have always used fat free yogurt in place of the sour cream. I drain it a bit so it gets a more creamy consistency. Kind of softens the 638 calorie a slice "guilt" I have also used smart balance or soy garden as a replacement for the butter in the topping. This was out of necessity as I ran out of butter :) Like I said this recipe is a never fail. You can't kill it.
