It doesn't necessarily have to change the past, if the time travel already happened: the apple fell from Snow White's hand and rolled to where Regina grabbed it into the future -- if that's what originally happened, it doesn't change the past.

And you're putting way more time travel into things than I was suggesting. I was just suggesting that this explains Alice's apparent lack of aging while the Knave was cursed in Storybrook for 28 years. That just means the Knave left via portal and arrived at another point in the history of Victorian world

Anyways, I thought it was a given that time flows differently in each of the worlds -- especially Wonderland. After all, Alice seems absolutely shocked that she was gone so long her father would be worried -- let alone believe she had died -- when she comes back from her first visit to Wonderland.
