for FILE in `ls *` is a dangerous use of backticks and pointless besides, don't do that. * does not need ls or any other external command's help to work.
You can do this with a subshell, which first prints the file name, then reads out the file contents, with the entire subshell's output dumped into "$FILE".txt

APPLE_DUMP(1) Netatalk 2.2 APPLE_DUMP(1)NAME
apple_dump - Dump AppleSingle/AppleDouble format file
SYNOPSIS
apple_dump [-a] FILE | DIR
apple_dump -f FILE
apple_dump -d FILE
apple_dump -h | -help | --help
apple_dump -v | -version | --version
DESCRIPTION
apple_dump dump AppleSingle/AppleDouble format file.
OPTIONS -a FILE|DIR
This is default. Dump a AppleSingle/AppleDouble file for FILE or DIR automatically. Extrapolate FinderInfo type from absolute path. If
FILE is not AppleSingle/AppleDouble format, look for .AppleDouble/FILE and ._FILE. If DIR, look for DIR/.AppleDouble/.Parent and ._DIR.
-f FILE
Dump FILE. Assume FinderInfo to be FileInfo.
-d FILE
Dump FILE. Assume FinderInfo to be DirInfo.
-h, -help, --help
Display the help and exit
-v, -version, --version
Show version and exit
NOTE
There is no way to detect whether FinderInfo is FileInfo or DirInfo. By default, apple_dump examins whether file or directory, a parent
directory is .AppleDouble, filename is ._*, filename is .Parent, and so on.
If setting option -f or -d, assume FinderInfo and doesn't look for another file.
