Often these small legs are held in place with dowels. If that isn't the case a bolt hanger and nut could be screwed in from under neath the top, spanning the apron pieces and running through a corner block. If none of these assembly methods were used for your table then it would possibly be a mortice and tennon joint, the older it is the more likely that this is the case. What would happen if you were to glue and clamp the crack with some titebond glue, wipe off the excess and wait to see what results? If you can't see how to get it apart, that may be your best bet.
