is there scriptural evidence that Jesus laid hands upon the Apostles?

None, like all other sacraments, the Holy Orders was something the exact form of which the Church developed after the Pentecost. There is nothing magical in laying of hands per se, just like there is nothing magical in eating bread or taking a bath. They become sacraments when the Church attaches a prayer that asks the Holy Ghost to bring grace to it.
