Apparently hay crop's ruined? Such things are not entirely accepted (9)

I believe the answer is:

apocrypha

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'things are not entirely accepted' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'apparently hay crop's ruined?' is the wordplay.
'apparently' becomes 'ap' (I've seen this in other clues).
'ruined?' indicates anagramming the letters.
'hay'+'crop'='haycrop'
'haycrop' anagrammed gives 'ocrypha'.
'ap'+'ocrypha'='APOCRYPHA'

'such' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for apocrypha that I've seen before include "Statements yet to be validated" , "Religious texts not in all Bibles" , "O.T. Books not accepted by Jews, and excluded from Protestant Bible at the Reformation" , "unacceptable books" , "dubious writings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
