What does the Evil Queen give Snow White in the cottage?

The Evil Queen gives Snow White a poisoned apple in the cottage.

After learning from the Magic Mirror that Snow White is still alive, the Queen disguises herself as an old peddler woman and travels to the dwarfs’ cottage. She brings a bright red apple that has been magically poisoned, presenting it as an ordinary treat.

The Queen tricks Snow White by claiming that the apple is special and, in some versions of the scene, suggesting that one side is harmless. Snow White bites the poisoned portion and falls into the “Sleeping Death,” leading the dwarfs to believe she has died. The curse can be broken only by an act of true love.

The poisoned apple is one of the film’s most recognizable images, but it is not the Queen’s only attempted method in the broader Snow White tradition. The Brothers Grimm tale includes a poisoned apple as well, while some later adaptations and related folklore emphasize other dangerous objects. The comb is not the fatal object in Disney’s 1937 film.
