I've never used any systemd timer unit but you should be able override
apt-daily.timer with a dropin and set

OnBootSec=90

for apt-daily.service to run, for example, 90 seconds after boot.

I'm unsure whether you'd have to unset the default triggers with

OnCalendar=
RandomizedDelaySec=

in the dropin
