I want to make a presentation and add some slides at the end as an appendix. The normal slides should have transitions "<+->", but the appendix ones should be like handout. Is there an easy way to do this?

Do you mean something like this?
\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\beamerdefaultoverlayspecification{<+->} % uncomment to uncover everything step-wise
\begin{frame}{A Frame}
\begin{itemize}
\item One
\item Two
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\beamerdefaultoverlayspecification{<1->} % uncomment to uncover everything step-wise
\appendix
\begin{frame}{\appendixname}
\begin{itemize}
\item Additional One
\item Additional Two
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
Alternatively you can determine the frame transitions on a frame-per-frame basis
cfr's solution is clearly better if you have quite a few frames in a row with the same transition type. I typically use some of my frames with transitions and others to write on with a stylus so I don't want transitions on these frames because I'd lose everything I write at every transition.
\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}[<+->]{A Frame}
\begin{itemize}
\item One
\item Two
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\appendix
\begin{frame}[<1->]{\appendixname}
\begin{itemize}
\item Additional One
\item Additional Two
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
Note you can omit the [<1->]
on the second frame because this is the default behavior unless you use \beamerdefaultoverlayspecification{<+->}
\documentclass{...}
and ending with\end{document}
.
