The easiest thing would probably be to just use ssh port forwarding because 
you already have all the pieces running anyway. Wouldn't a simple

  ssh -L 12345:secondapache:https user@remotessh

and the browsing to https://localhost:12345 do the trick? Or you could use a 
pppd over ssh vpn, yes, but that is a bit more complex.
