Does "owned by apache" mean literally the user "apache"?  Or is it really
the user "www-data"?

I'm going to assume you mean www-data.

This will give you the file and directory names:

    find /tmp -user www-data

If you want more detail, add -ls to the end:

    find /tmp -user www-data -ls

If you want the output to be sorted by the real ls(1), you have to
get a bit fancier.  Here's one way, but it relies on the number of
pathnames being relatively small:

    find /tmp -user www-data -print0 | xargs -0 ls -ldtr

If there are too many results, ls will be executed multiple times, and
then you'll get a series of separately sorted chunks, all concatenated
together.

I won't go any fancier than this until I know it's actually needed.
