Ubuntu Server 16.04.5 installed with Apache loads Laravel application as plain text

I have deployed Laravel 5.5 application on Ubuntu Server and I keep getting plain text when I load the index.php in public folder of my application. I think there is something wrong with the server configuration or I might be missing an extension or dependency. Any help please.
