  3. Add the beer and bay leaf, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen any stuck bits of meat or onions.
  4. Return meat to the pot, cover and simmer over low heat for 1- 1 1/2 hours.
  5. Remove pork loin from the broth to a plate and shred it with two forks. Return shredded meat to the pot.
  6. Add beans, hot peppers, apples, and tomato paste. Simmer, covered, over low heat for 1-2 hours.
  7. Fifteen minutes before serving, add red pepper and vinegar to the chili. Stir to mix and simmer for an additional 15 minutes.
