Acknowlogize

Or "Acknowlogy"

When one doesn't actually apologize. Instead, they acknowledge that they have done wrong without actually saying sorry. Or someone trying to make you laugh after they realized they upset your feelings. They know they made a mistake, but use jokes and/or gifts as a way of saying sorry.
"Rather than my husband saying sorry, he acknowlogized by giving me flowers instead"
