To get this to work without a password, i dropped a file in /etc/sudoers.d that allows anyone in the sudo group to sudo apt without a password.
root@tux:~# cat /etc/sudoers.d/apt
# Cmnd alias specification
Cmnd_Alias COMMANDS = /usr/bin/apt, /usr/bin/apt-get, /usr/bin/dpkg
# Use apt commands without a password%sudo ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: COMMANDS
I have a similar one as well for debian-based operating systems…
dist-upgrade() { sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade && sudo apt autoremove }
