even if you managed to create a snap of apt and install it on an UbuntuCore image, it would not be usable …

Ubuntu Core is a snap based OS and does not support deb packages or apt. Software you want to add/deploy on any Ubuntu Core device needs to be packaged as a strict snap (classic snaps are also not supported on Ubuntu Core for security reasons) …

if you want to use apt for i.e. development on Ubuntu Core, install the lxd snap and run a container. inside the container shell you can then use apt (i.e. to build snap packages for the Ubuntu Core host system)
