Substituting plain Greek yogurt for sour cream

I'm making a peach pie that uses sour cream in the filling mixture before baking. Do you think I could substitute plain Greek yogurt or do I need to go to the store again?

I would use the yogurt. Might be a bit tangy but I like that - you could up the sugar a bit to compensate.

I gave it a shot - I'll report back with the results - it's in the oven now. Thanks!

It should be fine...I've done the same swap and came out with identical results tastewise. The key is the fat content of the yogurt--depending on the role the sour cream plays, that would be the only thing that could potentially have an effect on the taste or texture.
