Yes, you can do that. You should add a paragraph to your copyright
notice that says something like

"As a special exception, the author grants you the right to link the
Program with any software licensed under <full name and perhaps URL of
the Apache License>"

Obviously, you can only do this legally if you are, in fact, the author
of that license.
