- Spoon mixture into the muffin tins with prepared almond crust.
- Bake for 40 minutes.
- While cakes are cooking, start on the caramel.
- Combine granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a medium, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat; cook until sugar dissolves, stirring gently for 3 minutes.
- Stop stirring and continue cooking 10 minutes or until the color of light brown sugar. Remove from heat; carefully stir in butter and milk. Place pan over medium-high heat until caramelized sugar melts. Bring to a boil; cook 1 minute.
- Remove pan from heat; cool caramel to room temperature. Cover and chill 1 hour or until slightly thickened.
