How to make 'appendix' appear in toc in Latex?

How to make word \'appendix\' appear in the table of contents? Right now toc looks like this:

1 ......
2 ......

A .....

Answer 1

For my thesis, I did the following:

\appendix
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Appendix~\ref{app:scripts}: Training Scripts}
\section*{Sample Training Scripts}
\label{app:scripts}
Blah blah appendix content blah blah blah.

Explanation: I manually added a line to the TOC so I would have "Appendix X:..." show up in my TOC. Then I excluded the actual section command from the TOC by using an asterisk.
