Default Find nth position of word

I have this list of strings: A1:A4

I like apples
apples are green
would you like some apples
the apples are on the table

I'd like to know for each cell in which nth position is apple. And I'm happy to define "word" as something between two spaces.

Which formula in B1 could give me the answer for A1?

Thanks in advance.
