I am writing a paper for school in which I need to include appendices. Currently, I am using the appendix command at the end of the document (just before enddocument) to insert these appendices. When creating a new appendix, I used the section command, and it's working just fine, and it does what I want. Except, there is one problem. The heading shows in the following way:

A Appendix A

I am trying to get rid of the first A in the heading. These are the packages and commands I am using in my document.

documentclassarticle
usepackagehyperref
usepackage[nameinlink, noabbrev]cleveref 
usepackagexcolor
hypersetup
 colorlinks,
 linkcolor=red!100!black

 We can see in Crefapp:A the original text in blah, blah, blah. 
 Crefapp:B depicts a table with the results from this study. 
 Finally, Crefapp:C shows a plot of these results...

 appendix
 sectionAppendix Alabelapp:A

 Text here...

 sectionAppendix Blabelapp:B

 Table here...

 sectionAppendix Clabelapp:C

 Figure here...

enddocument

And here is the output:

I know that if I use the command section*Appendix A as opposed to sectionAppendix A then the first letter goes away. The problem with that solution is that I can't use the cleveref to cross-reference this item in the body of my text. And if I do reference it using Crefapp:A, it simply links to the previous section that was not starred. In my case, the hyperlink is connected to my conclusion and not my appendices. I need to be able to reference the appendices in my text, and I need to get rid of the first letter because it violates APA formatting rules, which is the formatting used in my field.

I hope someone can help me with this. Also, I'm new to LaTeX, so I'd prefer simple solutions (such as a renew command) that won't require that I change my entire document because my paper is basically done. Thank you in advance!
