Ship Recognition Manual, Volume 1: The Ships of Starfleet

The Apollo class has an unusual appearance for a Starfleet vessel as it was designed by Vulcan engineers. The aft of the vessel is surrounded by a trapezoid section that contains the vessel's warp nacelles. It is the lightest of Starfleet's light cruisers and its primary role is to transport personnel through dangerous areas of space. While not heavily armed to fight off attackers it is fast and maneuverable, which allows it to outrun any attacker it cannot handle.

Star Trek: Legacy

A refitted Apollo class

The Apollo class design was similar to the Saladin class, comprising of a saucer section with a lone nacelle connected to the bottom of the saucer. It served primarily as a scout during the 23rd century. The design was later refitted with a second nacelle added to the dorsal side of the saucer, above the original nacelle.
