While cranking, the battery is drawn down and then the alternator quickly boosts it back up. So what might be happening is the battery is weak and it drops way down and is slow to recover. Have the battery load tested. If it checks out okay, I would then keep and eye on the alternator, it might be worn out too. They can be load tested too.
