Applesauce and other substitutes

This was just on another list...

 LOW FAT BAKING TIPS

* Substituting half applesauce for vegetable oil in baking reduces the fat
content. 

* Use plain yogurt as a substitute for sour cream.

* Make yogurt cheese (a great substitute for cream cheese) by lining a
strainer with cheesecloth and suspending over a bowl.  Put plain yogurt into
the cheesecloth, cover and let drain overnight.

* A low fat substitute for cream is a mixture of half buttermilk and half
yogurt cheese.
