Apache2 runs as "www-data"; you would have to add www-data
to the group which has access to this folder and restart
apache. Note however that this means any script on the
server that has a flaw in it might be exploited to read or
write to this directory.

If you need more fine-grained access control for web
applications, take a look at the SELinux ACLs.
