Most dictionaries say one. But rhyming dictionaries give some two syllable rhymes.
Most people I have heard pronounce it in speech, which isn't very many, give it a kind of glitch but not a full stop at the apostrophe. In song it can have several syllabels if drawn out. E'er is mostly used in poetry where a one syllable rhyme or beat is needed.

How do you divide the word toaster into syllables?
This word only has two syllables: "toa" (rhymes with GO) and "ster" (rhymes with HER). It refers to a machine that makes toast out of bread. Some people might also want to divide it as "toast-er," but I am dividing it the way it is pronounced.
