Soil looks dry, and it looks like the sun just beat down on them a little hard. When its hot and you have full sun you must water them daily. Once the top of the soil becomes dry again water alittle again...don't over do it but give them a good soak on hot days. Also don't over fertalize, not sure if you have been or not. Make sure you check the forcast though to see if you will be getting rain. Hope that helps a little
Also if it is windy that could dry out of leaves. On really windy days like 30mph + (like we've been getting) I cover up the plants with pails/buckets etc and place a rather large rock over the top of them. The wind blowing that fast will completely destory them. Anyway just some suggestions.

In general when plants are stressed, you don't want to fertilize them, especially with chemical fertilizers (as opposed to compost), unless you have reason to believe they have a specific deficiency in nitrogen or whatever you are adding. The fertilizer forcing it to grow is just another stress. And if you are trying to save the plant, pick the pepper off it and any other blossoms that appear while it is just trying to recover.
