prepositional phrase as an adjective

In the sentence "Which of the apples is a Granny Smith?" why do we not consider apples (object of the preposition) when determining the correct verb to use? I know "of the apples" is a prep phrase. I also know that "Which" is a relative pronoun. I know that Which is a Granny Smith is correct. I just can't explain why. Any help?
