This would send standard error to a file named "1" and standard
output to a file named "~/apt-get.log". What you probably want is:

  sudo sh -c "apt-get upgrade > ~/apt-get.log 2>&1"

This will send both standard output and error to "~/apt-get.log".
The "2>&1" means duplicate the standard error file descriptor to
the standard output file descriptor. See the REDIRECTION section
of bash(1).

Though, there may be a problem with redirecting both stdout and stderr
to a file, since apt-get or dpkg won't be able to prompt you. Don't
know... never tried.

You might find script(1) useful.
