Hi Strands fans. A nice and easy one today, especially if you get an answer on the board quickly.

When the theme isn't instantly obvious, I usually look at the corners first for a steer, as there are fewer directions you can travel in. That strategy paid off today, as I found BLUEBERRY in the top-left corner.

A blueberry filling? That has to be about pies. Sure enough, I was able to add CHERRY from the middle of the board to the right-hand side, followed by PEACH below it in the corner.

APPLE was on the opposite side, with PUMPKIN immediately above it. I could now see how the word "pies" — which I'd seen previously — fit into a larger pangram. It was CLASSICPIES, starting on the left-hand side but coiling round to the center of the board.

That just left PECAN in the top-right corner to complete the puzzle.
