You don't need the apply():
> m <- matrix(runif(6), 2, 3)
> m
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 0.6885473 0.4598892 0.2738169
[2,] 0.2393461 0.8863284 0.7891100
> round(m * 4) / 4
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 0.75 0.5 0.25
[2,] 0.25 1.0 0.75

Be careful: as.integer() trucate the fractional part (so as.integer(1.999)
is 1 intead of 2), which may not be what you want.
