Adding as a sub/child resource fails to work using the later API's, however adding a "siteConfig" property with an "appSettings" element, as stated above, seems to work. I am using the API Version 2016-03-01

{
        "type": "Microsoft.Web/sites",
        "name": "[variables('webappName')]",
        "apiVersion": "2016-03-01",
        "location": "[parameters('location')]",
        "tags": "[parameters('tags')]",
        "kind": "app",
        "properties": {
            "name": "[variables('webappName')]",
            "serverFarmId": "[variables('targetResourceId')]",
            "hostingEnvironment": "[parameters('hostingEnvironment')]",
            "netFrameworkVersion": "[parameters('netFrameworkVersion')]",
            "use32BitWorkerProcess": false,
            "webSocketsEnabled": true,
            "alwaysOn": true,
            "managedPipelineMode": "integrated",
            "clientAffinityEnabled": true,
            "hostNameSslStates": [
                {
                    "name": "[variables('hostName')]",
                    "sslState": "SniEnabled",
                    "thumbprint": "[parameters('certThumb')]",
                    "ipBasedSslState": "NotConfigured",
                    "hostType": "Standard"
                }
            ],
            "siteConfig": {
               "appSettings": "[variables('appSettings')]"
            }
        },
        "dependsOn": [
            "[concat('Microsoft.Web/serverfarms/', variables('hostingPlanName'))]"
        ],
        "resources": []
    }

And my variable looks like this.....

"appSettings": [
            {
                "name": "WEBSITE_NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION",
                "value": "8.9.3"
            },
            {
                "name": "WEBSITE_PRIVATE_EXTENSIONS",
                "value": "0"
            },
            {
                "name": "MobileAppsManagement_EXTENSION_VERSION",
                "value": "latest"
            },
            {
                "name": "WEBSITE_LOAD_CERTIFICATES",
                "value": "*"
            }
        ]
