In the index is shown:

A.My appendix 1
B.My appendix 2

And I want to view:
Appendix A. My appendix 1
Appendix B. My appendix 2

In the appendix chapter title the 'Appendix A' label is added OK, but it isn't in the index or the hyperref contents.

Thanks.

Please post a proper minimal working example.

[Txuko]

That solves the problem of the index but does not solve the problem with the hyperref contents for the pdf.

Although it seems to work, it give me this error during compilation of the full document (not with the example):
LaTeX Error: Command \c@lofdepth already defined.

This seems complicated. Another solution to the problem would be to create a chapter called Appendices and then put each appendix as a section inside it but I use a book document class and the appendices are defined as chapters and no sections. ¿It's possible to redefine that?

Thank you for all.

Although it seems to work, it give me this error during compilation of the full document (not with the example):
LaTeX Error: Command \c@lofdepth already defined.

It's impossible to diagnose a problem I cannot reproduce. A minimal working example which actually produces the error would be necessary to tell. The error seems to have something to do with the list of figures?

That solves the problem of the index but does not solve the problem with the hyperref contents for the pdf.

Sorry your sample didn't contain the bookmarksnumbered option for hyperref, so it was hard to see the issue here.

I don't know of a good way to reformat the labels in the PDF bookmarks except via more drastic measures, such as skipping the \appendix command altogether and try to recreate its effects in other ways.

So, for example, you could try this:
