I presume your appendix is within an article?  An appendix
within an article is handled differently from an appendix
within a book.  There is a template in fo/component.xsl
with match="article/appendix" that you can customize.
Just change:

<fo:block id='{$id}'>

to

<fo:block id='{$id}' break-before="page">
