I want to apply a more complicated function than what I use in my example,
but the idea is the same:

Suppose you have a data frame named x and you want to a function applied to
each variable, we'll just use the quantile function for this example.  I'm
trying all sorts of apply functions, but not having luck.  My best guess
would be:

sapply(x, FUN=quantile)
