Look in the project/dpkg directory of your Debian mirror: there are
dpkg-$(version)_$(arch).nondebbin.tar.gz files there for this purpose.
Then install apt and other necessary packages with dpkg.

You might be able to find out what packages were installed by looking in
/var/lib/dpkg/status, if it's still there, for packages in the 'install
ok installed' status. Then you can dump those into 'dpkg
--set-selections' ("packagename install", one per line) and run 'dselect
install'.
Good luck,
