If you don't have maple butter and are making maple icing, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and add milk 1 tbsp at a time until desired consistency is reach. It should be thin enough to drizzle but not too thin.

Let pop tarts cool for 10 minutes, then drizzle with the maple butter or icing. Sprinkle with a little sea salt and serve.
