I think looking at the apple in 3x22 gives Regina the idea of getting the poisoned apple from that witch in the Hansel and Gretel episode, so the apple in 3x22 is probably a normal apple, not the poisoned one.

A little off-topic, but I've been wondering about this and it's 'apple-related': In 1x02 Regina visits Maleficent and she tells her: I gave you the Dark Curse, you gave me the sleeping-curse. So Regina got the sleeping-curse from Maleficent. Then why does she need the poisoned apple from the Hansel-and-Gretel-witch? Because that apple is in fact the sleeping curse... A little consusing if you ask me.
