It’s hard to know what it might be, as there are several things that can cause large brown spots on fruit. However, I’m wondering if it might have been anthracnose; for more information about this disease, see: http://www.almanac.com/pest/anthracnose and this article from the Ohio Cooperative Extension:
http://www.oardc.ohio-state.edu/sallymiller/Extension%20Outreach/information%20transfer/Factsheets/Vegetable/Anthracnosepepper.pdf
which shows you a picture of it on bell pepper fruit.

Some other possibilities might include:

Hope this helps!
