Does anyone know of any books that specifically focus on Apocryphal material alluded to in the NT?
We all know that the NT is drenched with OT allusions but is there something like Beales' book that parallel NT thought(s) with 2nd temple lit?
mm.
You can Search the NT for such allusions with {Label Intertext WHERE Corpus = “New Testament” AND NOT Source ~<Bible Gen-Mal>}, where the Source is outside the Bible canon of Genesis thru Malachi.

Have you tried the Ancient Literature guide in Logos 8 (under Guides)?

Excellent resource, very comprehensive, and on sale this month.
The reference from MJ is good, but you need to watch 'when written' for chicken and egg, or both (eg Esdras4, etc).
Logos doesn't have the NRSV-Oxford, but that's been my favorite for an integrative view between the OT, apoc, and NT (triangle).
But generally, the loosey-goosey lists are just that. Usually you need to look at the respective apoc-commentary with a power lookup attached. A good example is Oesterley's Wisdom of Solomon, where he has a whole section on Paul.
But for more serious compares (that you'll cringe at), Flusser's Judaism and the Origins of Christianity is unrelenting. As an example it matches up 1 Peter 2:5-6 to the Manual of Discipline (Essenes); almost a complete match (among many).
I'm not sure how/if Logos presents this, but for this purpose I use my printed Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament. It has a fairly comprehensive listing of quotations and allusions in the back, but no commentary or discussion.
(Incidentally, I was just looking at this very thing on Friday; it shows no direct NT quotations of the Apocrypha but a good number of allusions.)
Good call. Thanks.

the source I referred to is derivative:
[quote]Throughout the recent editions of the United Bible Societies’ The Greek New Testament and the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece, indices ostensibly listing the New Testament authors’ citation or allusion to other writings have been included as appendices. The Nestle-Aland includes as Appendix IV “Loci Citati vel Allegati,” while the UBS edition includes the unnumbered (second) “Index of Allusions and Verbal Parallels.” Both lists have grown through the course of editions, though both share a majority of citations.
Thanks Dave, but I get close to100,000 hits. Am I doing something wrong in my search?

These search results are possibly incomplete.
Part of the problem is that the term "apocrypha" means different things to different traditions:
