By the var name I guess you're using the jeff geerling's apache role?
I use that too and also ran into this issue.
You need to escape the jinja looking part.
My snippet:
apache_global_vhost_settings: |
# Sortable log format, with federated username.
LogFormat "%v:%p %{{'{%'}}F %T}t.%{msec_frac}t %h %u \"%r\" %>s %O
\"%{Referer}i\"\
\"%{User-Agent}i\"" vhost_federated_combined
