This is explained with code samples at http://blakeley.com/blogofile/2013/06/21/introduction-to-multi-statement-transactions/

Try something like this:

import module namespace dls = "http://marklogic.com/xdmp/dls"
  at "/MarkLogic/dls.xqy";

declare option xdmp:transaction-mode "update";

let $uri := "/ml-workflow/test2.xml" 
let $content := <apple>APPLE</apple>
return dls:document-insert-and-manage($uri,fn:false(),$content)
;

import module namespace dls = "http://marklogic.com/xdmp/dls"
  at "/MarkLogic/dls.xqy";

let $uri := "/ml-workflow/test2.xml" 
let $properties := <prop>MANGO</prop>
return dls:document-set-properties($uri,$properties)
xdmp:commit()

If you use external variables you can avoid the repeated values.
