How to schedule a bash command (not a script) in crontab

I need to schedule a specific command to run once at a specific time during the day under /etc/cron.d. I am familiar with scheduling scripts. But is it possible to schedule a command directly (ex: sudo apt-get clean) instead of putting it in a script?
