Edit: Here, I found it :) https://twitter.com/AdamHorowitzLA/status/362454771283668993 Yeah, but the problem with that is then that Baelfire is not centuries old, and the apple somehow appeared through a portal more than 28 years in the future. Like, there HAS to be time travel of some kind at some point, the series falls apart without it. It's not a theory. Snow White was not in Storybrook and concurrently biting the apple that gave her the sleeping curse. Rumple literally described Bae as going through a portal in time and space -- are we assuming he misspoke? Or does Rumple not know enough about magic?

It's interesting to note, though Adam is really good about answering people's Tweets when -- in response to that Tweet -- he was asked about the apple or Baelfire's age or other time-related issues he blatantly ignores them.
