What is This Apple?

This apple tastes sweet and I'd like to grow it. Can we try to ID this apple? Someone grow in his backyard, so I know this is available. The apple tastes like a Golden Delicious. So it has to be related to Golden Delicious. But it has a more (red) blush look.

The one on the left looks something like Criterion. A good apple, it was popular briefly a dozen years ago, but I haven't seen it since the rabbits girdled my tree.

From what I was told, the two apples are the same. They call it "banana" apple. Do not know the exact name. The flesh looks exactly like Golden Delicious. The apples feel light.

This can be some type of Golden Delicious, such as the Malus "Smoothie" golden delicious. I do not know much about it.

I was thinking the same thing. Also Sundance blushes a bit more and more easily and you can find photos online looking just like this. If you bought them at a Farmer's market it is likely a modern mainstream variety, but still there are many that could look just like this. GD, Criterion and Sundance are all good candidates.
