However, it's up to the show runners if they choose to allow Applejack to have living parents. The only 'canon' proof supporting their deaths are from a commentary with Lauren Faust, stating that the parents are probably deceased. The confirmation that the shooting stars are a 'tip of the hat' to Applejack's parents may or may not imply they are deceased. The picture on the wall in the farm house (decipting a ponified version of the famous drawing: 'American Gothic') isn't proof those were the parents. That comes back to the point why they weren't mentioned anywhere at anytime.

If Applebloom was dropped off in the middle of the night or in a place Applejack/Big Mac could not meet their parents, it could be questioned if Applebloom is truely their sister and not a niece or relative or somepony they took in. It's possible Applebloom was dropped on the farm at some point, but if it's any period around Applejack getting her Cutie Mark, she would at least be able to meet or remember her parents, if only momentarilly. Applebloom is Applejack/Big Macintosh's younger sister, so that means Applebloom was born from Applejack's parents. There's another thing that eludes my logic is how Applebloom came to live on the farm. Since Applebloom was omitted from the exit and return scene, she was either convieniently asleep in the farmhouse, not born yet, or in the care of Applejack's parents. If Applebloom was born and a foal, she could have been there to meet Applejack's return to the farm. Judging from Baby Cakes and Apple Family Reunion, foals are also shown to go outside, sometimes unsupervised. Based on previous experiences with foals, they seem to become very active within a month of birth and show some signs of common sense. Under a specific scenario, if Applebloom was alive, she might have already been on the farm as a foal, meaning the parents could be considered deceased at this point. :::::: The only contradition I can identify here is if Applebloom was already born prior to Applejack getting her Cutie Mark by returning to the Apple farm. Also, her parents are not seen at the farm waving farewell during Applejack's exit or happily greeting her return to the farm. However, the primary fact here is that she does not mention either of her own parents or Applebloom. Oh, what I wouldn't give for just one bite.' In whatever case, Applejack is homesick and she specifically mentions Granny Smith and Big Macintosh. I bet they're applebucking their way through the red delicious trees. She mutterred what I believe is a very important line: '*poorly imitates a rooster and sighs deeply* I wonder what Granny Smith and Big Macintosh are up to. At one point, a homesick Applejack looks out a window from her room. There she meets her Aunt and Uncle Orange, and they took her in. A filly Applejack leaves behind the 'muddly, old apple farm' for Manehattan, seeking a 'sophisticated' life. I found something very interesting in Applejack's segment in Cutie Mark Chronicles. My own theory is that Applejack's parents are not deceased, and are instead missing and/or out of contact with the Apple family.

It's assumed that her parents are deceased, in tandem with Lauren Faust's commentary, but it's not been made specifically canon yet. There's no definitive proof that Sibsy's confirmation of the shooting stars connection to AJ's parents means her parents are deceased.
