CloudFormation deploying implicit AWS::APIGateway::Deployment even after explicitly defining one

Trying to deploy a simple HelloWorld API using CloudFormation/SAM.
I have to defined an AWS::Serverless::Api, AWS::ApiGateway::Resource, AWS::ApiGateway::Method and a AWS::ApiGateway::Deployment. But during sam deploy I see that another AWS::ApiGateway::Deployment is implicitly created, one that is deployed before the API Method.

The API related resources deployed:

How can I stop the implicit AWS::ApiGateway::Deployment(HelloWorldAPIDeployment5332c373d4) from being created?
It causes the following error:

You can't switch that off. From docs:

When an AWS::Serverless::Api is specified, AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) always generates an AWS::ApiGateway::RestApi base AWS CloudFormation resource. In addition, it also always generates an AWS::ApiGateway::Stage and an AWS::ApiGateway::Deployment resource.

If you want to keep using AWS::Serverless::Api you have to use the auto-generated AWS::ApiGateway::Deployment, rather then your own. You do this by appending .Deployment to the name:

!Ref <api‑LogicalId>.Deployment

Alternatively, don't use AWS::Serverless::Api at all, as you seem you are creating everything from scratch anyway.
