Try this...

 NSString * date =@"2016-01-12";
    NSString * dateStr=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\"%@\"",date];

    NSString * spent1 = @" \"spent\" : ";
    NSString * new = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@",spent1,dateStr];
    NSLog(@"------>%@",new);

You can do this -- 

NSString * spent1 = [NSString stringWithFormat:@" \"spent\" : "/%@"/",date];

Or you can use Date formatter which is much more subtle as @Uma Madhavi suggested

For getting date means use this format.

NSDate *currDate = [NSDate date];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"YYYY-MM-dd"];
NSString *dateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:currDate];
NSLog(@"date is %@",dateString);
