  • Heat a large 12-inch cast iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and break up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Stir in apple and all but 1/4 cup ramps and cook on medium-high heat until the sausage is brown and crumbly, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Turn the heat down to medium, sprinkle the flour evenly on top of the sausage, and stir until fully coated. Cook for 1 more minute.
  • Pour in milk and stir well. Continue cooking until the gravy is thickened, but still a bit loose, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with remaining ramps when serving.
