Well, as Going to Seed revealed, they were around for at least part of Applejack's childhood, and Apple Bloom is indeed their child. Presumably they passed either before Applejack's flashback in Cutie Mark Chronicles, or some time between then and the events shown in Where the Apple Lies. Admittedly, we still don't know why Apple Bloom wasn't present for those flashbacks.
