It used to connect the two sentences.
I apologize. I will be late for dinner. Or: I apologize but I will be late for dinner.
Apologize is positive, late is negative...so use but

"but" here seems like "the thing I have to be late for" is more important than "being rude."

@AshleighKetchum : Hmm, which one is more casual?
With 'but' vs without 'but'.
"I apologize but ..." vs "I apologize (that) ..."
"Sorry, but..." vs "Sorry, ..."

I think that "I apologize but..." sounds more casual in the sentence you provided. Both "sorry, but..." and "sorry..." sound equally casual to me :)
