Problem with growing chillis!

Hi all, hoping someone might be able to give me some advice. 
I bought a little Apache F1 chilli plant from a garden centre back in February. It’s quite well established now, very bushy with the tips pinched out. It has flowered three times now, with no chillis growing. It’s very healthy looking, is fed weekly, watered regularly but sparingly. What am I doing wrong? What can I do to get it to actually produce any chillies?

    Whereabouts does it live?  I find mine need either insects buzzing about or to be in a bit of a breeze to aid pollination. 🌶

    It started out in my kitchen when I first got it, as I didn’t have a garden. We moved house at the start of April and it was then living in a sunny spot in the garden. I moved it back indoors about two weeks ago when the weather started to turn again.
