In the Supernaturalseason 10 episode About A Boy, both the witch from Hansel and Gretel and Hansel himself appear. Hansel works for the witch, turning adults into children for her to eat. Hansel transforms Dean Winchester but he escapes. Hansel later tells the Winchesters that the story of Hansel and Gretel is true but was just given a happy ending. He claims that he and Gretel were tortured by the witch and when they tried to escape, she captured them and made Hansel eat Gretel's heart. Hansel offers his help in stopping the witch, but is revealed to actually be evil, having been working for the witch of his own free will. Dean reverses the transformation spell and kills Hansel with a knife. He then burns the witch in her own oven, the same way she died in the original story.
