The address 127.0.0.1 on all systems is defined as the loopback address.
So it can be used to establish a socket between transmitting and
receiving processes on the same machine. The packets will pass through
the full TCP/IP stack and so the session will emulate a real internet
session (at least as far as the software is concerned). You don't even
need a network card.
All you need to do is:
Listen 127.0.0.1:80
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
DocumentRoot ...
and then type http://127.0.0.1/ in a browser running on the same
machine.
