[Haskell-beginners] Repeat function application x times?

[Christopher Howard]

Is there a convenient stock function in prelude/base that applies a 
function to a single value x number of times and returns the result? 
(I.e., does not return a list, but the final value.) Something like

applyN :: Integral b => (a -> a) -> b -> a -> a

Honestly I looked through the base hierarchy and at hoogle but I am 
missing it.
