That may not be the best solution however: it would change it globally,
so *every* repeater would go back to APPT.

C-h v org-todo-repeat-to-state RET says:

,----
| The TODO state to which a repeater should return the repeating task.
| By default this is the first task in a TODO sequence, or the previous state
| in a TODO_TYP set.  But you can specify another task here.
| alternatively, set the :REPEAT_TO_STATE: property of the entry.
`----

so setting the property of the entry might be better.

Personally, I have my appointments in a separate file with its own
TODO sequence:

#+TODO: APPT | DONE
