My thoughts on that is that it was not time travel at all.'''  The apple fell from Snows hand when she took the bite and rolled away. being both magical and poison, it would not have decomposed during the time, nor would any animals have touched it (since animals instinctively avoid poisonous items), so she grabbed the apple from where it was in the current day which was exactly where it fell. No breaking of the laws of time here. I will go back and check this, but if I'm not mistaken, we actually see a clip where the apple drops from Snow's hand, rolls down the hill, and then disappears into the present.That, and Jefferson instructed Regina to focus on the point in time where the apple was. I think we're not supposted to think too hard about that scene now, since after that they established the no time travel rule. lol, guess that's a bit of a retcon.
