I'd like to know "how to" means "the way to".

You left a word out (of).

"If you're not sure of the way to apologize to your grown daughter ...."

That's possible, but it's rarely if ever used. It's not natural.

Are these two sentences identical in meaning?

 

[Tarheel]

Yes. But I wouldn't use a phrase that is awkward and unnatural to replace one that is natural.
