About 10 days for full fermentation. Depends really, when its stopped bubbling and totally calm on the surface. Without using a hydrometer you can only use the above method.
Don't forget to add a teaspoon of sugar per half litre when you bottle it (with tight fitting lid) else it'll be flat. That'll take a further week to ferment and carbonate.
TBH you're better off buying some proper cider yeast (about a quid a sachet) rather than bakers yeast.
