You can do that with the NSXMLNode class method textWithStringValue:

example:

   NSXMLElement *root = (NSXMLElement *)[NSXMLNode 
elementWithName:@"test"];
   NSXMLDocument *aDoc = [[NSXMLDocument alloc] initWithRootElement:root];
   
   [root addChild:[NSXMLNode textWithStringValue:@"some text"]];
   
   NSString *aFile =  [@"~/Desktop/test.txt" 
stringByExpandingTildeInPath];
   [[aDoc XMLData] writeToFile:aFile atomically:YES];

result:

   <test>some text</test>
