Open the terminal and type: 

apache2 -v

-v Print the version of apache2, and then exit.

From the terminal you can enter: (lowercase -v)

apachectl -v

or to get even more compile info on Apache enter: (uppercase -V)

apachectl -V

of course as mention by @karel you can also use apache2 instead of apachectl... just giving an alternative. This worked for me in Ubuntu 18.04 and I'm using Apache 2.4.37.

if you have PHP installed with you apache2, you can find it in $_SERVER variable or with phpinfo() function:

<?php
var_dump($_SERVER);
phpinfo();

returns (on my computer):

'SERVER_SIGNATURE' => string '<address>Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu) Server …</address>
'SERVER_SOFTWARE' => string 'Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu)'

# and in phpinfo arrays:
apache2handler
Apache Version  Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu)
