Default Count specific characters in a cell

Is there a way to count the number of times a specific character occurs in a
specific cell?

For example, if cell A1 has "ABC123ABC" and I wanted to count the number of
occurances that "A" showed up, and wanted the out put to be in B1. In this
example the desired result would equal "2".

Thank you,
John Gregory
