I like the theory of the Apprentice guarding the hat merely because the Sorcerer hasn't been born yet, which is quite plausible.

I don't think the Sorcerer which in this case I'm going to assume is Henry, has the power to influence the past. It's just that his powers are beyond limit that it's able to predict what would happen in a different timeline of the past. The book is hinted to be the recordings of choices and options you made in life, so the Sorcerer are merely writing history here, and he also knows what would happen if a certain character were to choose a different path in life, like what would happen to Regina if she went into the bar to meet Robin.

Confusing stuff, I know. I don't even think I understand what I wrote myself, lol.
