The apocrypha is part of some biblical texts. Some of the information contained in the Apocrypha can not be justified with other biblical texts (just like the book of Ester) therefor it was left to stand alone as a separate work, requiring the reader to research its validity to other texts and events contained within the original texts. You may find some of that argument included in the texts of the meetings of the Council of Nicea (Ecumenical Council).
It has been stated that some of the scribes of the temple who existed during Christs time (and just afterword), wrote false and misleading information which was intended to confuse and confound Christians. However they would not have been able to alter the original texts used up until that time. Any of the alterations would have occurred after 4 BC which included the Apocrypha. Remember, the temple scribes would not have had access to the works of the scribes of the Apostles. This is the thought behind the apocrypha works not being included in some bibles (such as the KJV).
