How do I create a certificate from a windows CA for apache running on a windows server?

I have an application that uses Apache running on a windows server that I need to create a certificate for. We have a 2008R2 server that is a CA that is trusted by all the machines in the domain. I understand the basic process of doing this, but all my research shows how to's that don't apply to my specific situation. (apache running on linux, submitting CSR to public CA etc.)
I'd like as step by step as possible as this is a production machine I'm meddling with. It can go down for an hour or a few without much impact, but I'd look bad.

Or you can use free https://LetsEncrypt.org certs + dramatically simplify your entire cert management process.

LE certs are setup + forget. A simple CRON job renews certs (as required) + then restarts any services (as required) to ingest new certs when a renewal occurs.
