According to MW online, alliteration is consecutive words beginning with the same (usually) consonant sounds.
So by that definition, neither “happy hour”, nor OP’s very good attempt to fix it, “appy hour”, would count as alliteration.
I always thought repeated words starting with the same vowel sounds would also count. It wouldn’t help in this case, though. But apparently repeating vowel sounds is called “assonance.”
I still don’t understand the punch line

I write out the phrase Office Hours fairly regularly and although I know how to spell both words, the alliteration sound sometimes throws me off enough that I write Office Ours and then angrily correct it a second later.
Never go to a place with a fappy hour, too sticky
